4th of 12, pnp, perfect level, half stained cork, lighter and less assertive than last July's bottle, greater transparency and brown rim emerging, attractive rose flavours added to bouquet but hint of taint on palate, hence downgrade, burly tannins give slight sense of unbalance, entering plateau, 10+ years. F (17.5).

Just the way I would expect a 23 year old Barolo to taste. To me the palate was the perfect mix of morello cherries and tar / pencil lead. It is in a very good spot in its evolution. I don't think it will get "better" but it will evolve and continue to be very good!

Perhaps slightly better than the last time. Tar and cherries. Great aged barolo. Crowd pleaser. Drink now.

Chocolate, leather, coffee. Aged but refined w. good structure. Gritty tannins and retained acidity. Earthy and leathery notes.
At a good stage now so drink.
