  3-4 hour decant served this quite well. A classically styled Nebbiolo with tons of finesse and traditional plum, licorice, florals and road tar. On the younger side but air did well to soften this up. No rush with a long life ahead.

  nada como darle tiempo a un buen Barolo. Rubý de media capa con ribete atejado. nariz atractiva, con muy buena definición y una amplia paleta olfativa: fruta licorosa, marroquinería, champiñones, especiados (pimienta blanca, canela), fruta licorosa, cacao en polvo. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio y cuando uno espera un tanino contundente el tanino se muestra firme pero pulido y con excelente integración, bien de acidez, notable estructura y bastante longitud. Sin síntomas de declive.

  Fully mature. Transparent ruby with amber on the rim. Smells of flowers. Muted fruit. Some savory elements. Pretty tart. Drink now!

  PnP. Double decanted and tasted. Solid. Lacks a bit of complexity. Dusty tannins. Tart.

  Remember liking this more in the past. Still a nice Barolo, drinkable now, but nothing extraordinary.
