  Nothing special? Huh?
  Just sublime, complex and Nebbiolo delish.
  This is an eternal bottle. It will stay in this drinking window for another 20 years easily.
  I tasted over several days and it did not evolve too much. For my next bottle I will remove the cork and keep in cellar for 3 days before decanting.
  The tars were so good, and the flowers beautiful.
  
  Did the gods bless Piemonte?

  Nice Barolo. Simple. Smells like perfume and violets. A good Barolo but nothing special - that's like being on the bench of the championship team.

  Orange rim. Really intense nose, but why the associations towards vintage port?? Dark fruits, mainly plums, some cherries. Spices + pepper. Complex wine, still full of punch acid-wise and tannins are nice providing an excellent backbone. But there must be something wrong here: Fruits seem really sweet and too mature. As it is now it's not holding together. Probably a bad bottle??
