  Nothing to add to last note, same score.
  
  I have noticed though that this wine seems very sensitive to glass used.
  
  Day three.
  
  Red and orange fruit purity in the Gabriel, ashen tannins, and menthol come to the fore.
  
  In the Riedel, it’s much bolder and savoury notes speak louder. Tannins much more savoury.
  
  Approachable now, but will look better in 5. Hold.

  Initial impressions: High toned and savory on the nose with layers of underbrush, smoke, earth, and stone aromas supporting gentle but transparent red berry fruit. Ripe but light on the tongue, this is lively, juicy, playful even with very pretty if light cherry fruit, famed very well by the savory earthy character suggested by the nose. Tannins are present, rather vertical in the mouth, fresh and attractive, and pretty well balanced by fine acidity that allows this to fade gently and juicily across the long finish. A lovely, fine, elegant and detailed bottle of Barolo with just a whisper of excessive alcohol. 89-91

  A very nice young Barolo. However, I think it suffers a bit on day 2, which may indicate that it may be better on the younger side rather than older.
