  La Festa del Barolo: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): From a magnum and this was just rocking and rolling. Really drinking well. Very fresh and beautiful. A bit more heft to the style than some other producers but still done in a lovely way. Spicy and a bit more secondary notes. Very well integrated. A wine that seemed in a perfect sweet spot and was just purely on.

  Just as good as the last bottle! Wish I had a case or more of this.

  Opened at 12pm to slow ox, double decanted at 5:30pm for sediment and enjoyed over 2-3 hours starting at 7pm.
  
  This wine even on initial opening smelled amazing, iron, rose, secondary red fruits, even more intoxicating when I double decanted though a little taste showed the palate to be a bit tighter.
  
  Wine was drinking near peak at 8pm! Have one more bottle and will revisit in ~5 years.

  Burgundy-style elegant and nicely poised. Lovely.

  This was a high performing bottle. Had a lot of Monfortino type notes, iron, winter spice, impeccably balanced, quite rich and well-balanced considering the vintage; excellent showing
