Very light and oddly sweet? Not sure what’s going on here. Prior bottle opened was off, and this is better, but not what I expected. Needed a longer decant? I give up.

Just delicious. Decanted a couple of hours and then served with chicken in a creamy mushroom/champagne sauce. Wine got more giving the longer it was open. Effusive, penetrating nose of brambly undergrowth, tobacco, ripe berries and mint for days. Similar on the palate with sweet, grainy tannins and acidity that kept the whole thing bright and lifted. Long finish. Lots of pleasure here already. The abv on this is 15%, but one does not notice the alcohol.

Bien bon, meilleur après quelques heures avec des amers qui se fondent mieux avec les tanins.
Très bien.

D2h. Mature garnet red, yellow tinged, 4.5. Wonderful mature complex bouquet, roses, tar, tobacco, all the good stuff Barolo can offer. Dry harmonious palate, med+ tannin, long finish. Drink now - 2030.
