  Kirsebær, bringebær, rose, litt tjære og nype. Kraftig og lang.

  At noon, half the bottle was poured into a half-bottle and recorked, and the other half left in the bottle. Both bottles put in the fridge. At half past six, the content of the original bottle was put into a decanter and drunk half an hour later. Zalto Burgundy glass. Medicinal tarry nose, with brown dust. Fabulous plushy texture, quite tannic (please note that the tannins of a Barolo should not be resolved) and with good balance.
  
  Actually, this first half was so tasty that we also opened the other half, decanted and consumed with cheese in a surprisingly short time given its 14.5.% ABV. This was slightly fresher (probably because colder) but quickly emerged as a very convincing wine.
  
  This is overall coherent and, while young, very very good to drink now, if given extended aeration of some kind. (Five or ten more years certainly wouldn't harm.) I wouldn't argue with the 95 points given by William Kelley.

  Italian Night in Jax (La Cena): These wines have become almost impossible to find these days which is a bit crazy but so it goes. You can see why. There’s an elegance in the way Fabio approaches them. Still get the bright Cannubi fruit here. Very classic style and just lovely. I liked our idea of south to north but part of me wishes I could have hung out with this one for a bit longer. Got poured towards the end of the evening.

  La Festa del Barolo: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Really fun to get to try this next to its brother the Monvigliero. That was really great too. Amazing and again that juicy style, great fruity, bright and the best word that I could come up with was yummy. Certainly a wine to keep an eye out for.

  Decanted for two hours, Zalto burgundy glass. Refined classic nose, airy and firm taste, very nice, but not quite living up to the recent notes from William Kelley or Eric Guido. Perhaps it should have had more air.
