Duck Juice and Barolos (Shane's): nose: very perfumed nose that fills the glass with smooth and melded tones of rose petals, bits of tea, red cherries, herbs, tar and a touch of hi-toned spices. A very heady and intoxicating nose that has some real good depth and layering
taste: lovely medium feel on the palate with good medium+ acidity with cool and elegant tones of rose petals, plush red cherries, tar, and an assortment of spice tones. It works its way across the palate in an artful manner that is real deft and silky
overall: This was popped and poured out of a magnum. A real beauty of a wine that real got going with some swirling in the glass and air. This was very elegant and balanced that also showed off the aging as it had great layering and a real sense about it
