  Too soon? Decanted into large surface area container. Left at rt in decanter for 1 hr. Not ready. Hard for me to tell its potential.

  Very solid barolo. Already drinking very well but I expect this one to continue to get better. Nice tannins and great aroma.

  Nice wine with tannic overtones. Needs another year or two to mature.

  Almost the exact wine we searched for unsuccessfully from our cellar to bring to this dinner. Very random moment there! The palate is dry with subtle stewed fruit. Quiet and meaty at the same time. Tannic but with a little plum, blackberry, and light herbal notes.
