8th of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, several steps up on last bottle in Jan 18 (how wrong was I), although brown hue to appearance particularly on rim, more floral (roses and pot pourri) and flavours on palate now showing attractive velvet and caramel like a fine old Burg, very layered, long and persistent, now fully mature, maybe little upside but certainly no rush. F+ (18)......just shows how much bottle age these fine Barolos need to give of their best, and this is not Serralunga or Monforte and 97 was supposed to be a not particularly ageworthy forward vintage!

Perfect cork. Big funky medicinal nose upon open that mellowed out in 30 minutes and disappeared after 2. Wow - so youthful and vibrant after 24 years. Leathery tertiary, dominated by secondary jammy notes, but with still some primary fruit left. Delicious and drinking at its peak. Aged Cannubi just doesn't miss...

7th of 12, decanted an hour, perfect cork and level, much better than last 2 bottles, browner rimmed but much more attractive baked fruit, earth and truffle flavours, although it does not possess the cool fresh fruit which makes the 96 so attractive, I think this wine is good for at least 5 more years though I don't see much upside from here unlike the 96. F (17.5).

6th of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, back to 2016 bottle, just duller, seems a bit in limbo, plenty of fruit yet. VGI (17).
