  Gorgeous showing. Exactly as it should be at this stage.
  Light stewed red fruits and some roasted bell peppers.
  Light anise, menthol and red road tar.
  Lovely elegance on the finish with structure still present and plenty of acidity.

  Q1 - 2018 Tasting - Aged Barolo Theme (NY, NY): 8/17 wines tasted double blind. This one also ended up being one of the ones we brought - so I know that it was decanted for 3 hours and double decanted back to bottle - upon which time the cork reinserted for travel broke off into the bottle - so ended up serving in decanter for tasting. Color is quite brownish and translucent. Nose is on the musty old bookstore side again. The palate is more interesting than the nose - leather, dry leaves, some soy, but on the finish gets a bit acidic and thin. My guess was a 1980's vintage. Interesting - 3.5*

  Aged Barolo (aka Q1 wine club) (The Apt): Wine #8: One of my favorites of the tasting. This was opened and decanted and I do think the decant helped it stand out from some of it's other peers. There was a good structure and balance to it. The age added a bit of elegance and maturity without being old or musty. And as I found I liked, that bit of air started to bring out more of the dried fruit flavors which were quite nice. (8 pennies)

  Leo's Blind Tasting Group - Oct '15 edition (Ben's): Really liked this. In a great place right now, with all those savoury tarry, earthy, red fruited and herbal flavours coming together very seamlessly on the nose and palate. Lots of complexity here, and a very polished palate presence with the tannin feeling rather fine grained, and bright acidity giving it plenty of lift.
