  This wine continue to wonder me. Full body, transparent cherry color with brick rims. Intense red fruits and flowers aroma complemented by mushrooms and forest floor. Strawberry and sour cherry palate following by spices, tar and lingering finish of wild berries acidity and muscular tannins. Powerful, rich and complex but harmonies and balanced. Well pairing to beef risotto. Open one hour ahead. Serve 16ºC - 18ºC. Drink now and the next four/five years, perhaps longer.

  Finally pulled a Barolo out of the cellar that lived up to the hype and I now "get" why Barolo is so sought after.
  This wine is wonderful, my other bottle of this must have had a flaw.
  Menthol, leather, cigar, on a background of muted dark fruits. Tannins are there but very smooth and enjoyable. Small sips bring a lot of intensity and flavor. Long finish. Score 95
  
  By day #3 was fading fast, day #3 score 90

  meh, after cellaring for 6 years expected better. Nose was promising but seemed faded and muted.
  Starting to dread opening Barolos, either I don't like them that much or the great ones are way out of my price range.

  Full body, transparent cherry color with brick rims. Intense and complex aroma of red fruits, flowers, tobacco leaves and oak complemented by mushrooms and wet forest. Strawberry and red cherry palate following by spices, licorice and tar on lingering finish. Powerful and rich but easy drinking and balanced in spite so high alcohol level, vital acidity and muscular tannins. Well pairing to gnocchi alla bava. Open one hour ahead. Serve 16ºC - 20ºC. Drink now next eight years, perhaps longer.
