  1998 elvio cogno
  Rusty maroonish and not translucent. This threw a lot of fine sediment when decanted. 75 mins after decanting; aged nose of autumn leaves, fine leather. On the palate, fresher than what it looks, the leather and earthiness translates to the palate, aged plum and a bit of orange peel, tiny menthol notes! Low acidity and receded tannins on a medium finish. Delicious and Delightful for a 25 yr old wine.

  Kleur: Oranjebruin met een brede lichtere rand. Aroma / bouquet: Aangenaam en rijp bouquet. Teer, leer, gedroogde dadels en gedroogde pruimen. Aards en gronderig. Smaak / Afdronk: Na 21 jaar ontwikkeling wordt deze Barolo nog steeds gekenmerkt door krachtige zuren, krachtige tannines en een bovengemiddeld lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Vermoedelijk zegt deze proefnotitie meer over mijn voorkeur voor 'relatief cool climate-monocepagewijnen' zoals Bourgogne en Barolo dan over de intrinsieke kwaliteit van deze wijn. Zowel Bourgogne als Barolo kunnen me van mijn sokken blazen. Jammer dat dat maar zo zelden gebeurt. Mooie wijn maar in niets ècht mijn ding. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 10 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 7 = 88/100

  Color: Orange-brown with a wide lighter edge. Aroma / bouquet: Pleasant and ripe bouquet. Tar, leather, dried dates and prunes. Earthy and grounding. Taste / Aftertaste: After 21 years of development, this Barolo is still characterized by powerful acids, powerful tannins and an above-average aftertaste. General / potential: This tasting note probably says more about my preference for 'relatively cool climate monocage wines' such as Bourgogne and Barolo than about the intrinsic quality of this wine. Both Burgundy and Barolo can blow me off my socks. It is a pity that this happens so rarely. Nice wine but in no way my thing. 50 + Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 10 + Taste / Finish: 16 + General / potential: 7 = 88/100

  This bottle was more advanced than I was expecting. A lot of earth and (pleasant) funk on the nose. On the palate, dark faded fruit, earthy, modest acidity, and quite smooth, but the finish did not linger. A nice bottle, but I'm not sure it can get to the next level.

  An inviting nose. Roses, earth, tar, and a little leather. It is expansive yet lithe with a softness and suppleness I would guess is the Rose clone. Lovely balance, power and finesse. This is no wallflower, it has plenty of power, but it has subtlety and grace. Expansive and with effortless power. Quite long on the finish. Drinking at early peak. Beautiful. 93
