Corked and completely clapped out anyway. You could tell there was some interesting pickled walnut and cherry aromatics going on underneath, but sadly undrinkable. I am increasingly cross with the charlatans who sold this to me on the promise of greatness. Sure, you have to take old bottles as you find them but all so far opened have been well and truly past it.

A lovely mature Barolo with no signs of decay, still retaining its fruits & body with panache!

Fully mature showing oxidative, aged notes as expected. Tannins totally integrated, smooth body. Medium+ finish. Great acid. Double-decanted 5 hours prior to consumption.
