  March Madness Wine Tasting: Served blind. Palate fatigue had set in this late in the event. Youthful Barolo, but approachable and drinking great now.

  Mørk rød, antydning til orange rand.
  Moden. Bærdreven vin. Jordbær og kirsebær. Hint av blåbær. Vanilje. Tjære og lær. Furunål. Roser.
  Kraftig kropp. Sigarett.
  God, mektig og fin avslutning.

  White Truffles & Nebbiolo - 2021 Edition (Chicago, IL): A big, dense and concentrated wine that isn’t yet ready but still had a decadent approachability with 10 hours of air. Firm structure with proportional fruit. Best in 20 years.

  Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VI (Chicago, IL): I feel like if you've read the notes on the 2004 Rupestris and Franco, and the 2008 Rupestris, you can probably extrapolate my tasting note for this wine. An amped up, all-round better version of the 2008 Rupestris with more fruit and complexity. Plenty of tannins, this is still obviously very chewy and young, but there is plenty of compelling material here that will make for a very interesting wine to revisit many years for now. I liked the more mature and resolved 2004 in comparison to this.

  (at Orto - Baltimore) Deep ruby / garnet. Eucalyptus, creamy red fruit and dirt. Layers of flavor yet still very young. This is going to be great. I can see this being the WOTN in 10 years. (95+)
