From 75cl, DIAM closure, decanted 1 hour, did not improve in glass. Nothing wrong with this basic but well-made modern-style Barolo. But recent CT TNs seem all over the place. Notwithstanding all those conflicting descriptors, this is fun wine to drink now or soon. We enjoyed the gentle mid-palate sweetness anyway, well balanced by attractive Nebbiolo typicity in a friendly, forward package. 89P

Consistent with note from 8/5/20. Really racy fruit, with powerful underlying structure, benefits from 90 minutes+ of air. Solid on its own, but even better with food, and light and versatile enough to work with almost anything other than fish. Prime drinking window, but likely to hold for 5+ years, although by barolo standards, won't be a long term ager. Recommended. 91+ if scoring.

Not very interesting. Maybe a bad bottle or it could be me.
