  Brick red. Grilled herbs and forest floor nose, prune, ripe plum and dark fruit surprisingly dense and heavy

  Decanted off 2oz sediment. Light-med ruby, clear; aromatic, roses, tar, high toned red cherry, a bit of clove and spice; palate is light bodied, high tannin which are a bit grainy, high acidity, balanced medium-high alcohol (14%), red fruited; medium finish. Youthful for its age, balanced and with good depth, excellent value for Barolo in a style that I enjoy. 92

  MNB Friends (and kiddos!) (Ashish's): Verduno: generally lighter, more approachable wines.
  Medium minus ruby. Garnet rim.
  
  Slight hint of something I thought might be TCA. Perfumed VA. Cherry - maraschino. Deep fruit. Hint of tamari wood development. (Not new oak, just tertiary notes).
  Medium body. Elevated alcohol. High tannins. Chewy and satisfying. A little melted. Elevated acid. Low bitterness. Deep cherry and sandalwood spice on the palate. Cherry stalks. So good.

  Dinner with Rajiv and Roger (Millbrae): Stood up for months, decanted off small fine sediment. Light-medium ruby, very slight bricking for nebbiolo at this age; aromatic, high toned red cherry, spice (clove, star anise), floral; palate is medium bodied, quite robust tannins for a Barolo from Verduno at this age, high acidity, fruit still relatively primary, black cherry; finish is medium length. Very drinkable with food and a good Barolo, but a bit deeper and rougher than I was expecting at this age from Verduno. One bottle left and I'll try to give it a few more years. 92+
  6 hours in a decanter: Definitely more approachable, tannins a bit more integrated and showing more red fruits. Decant if opening now, but this will certainly last another decade or two easily.
  Day 2: still lovely aromatics, spices; tannins still present on the palate but balances well with a risotto; medium finish. Lovely Barolo, excellent value for the price paid.

  La Festa del Barolo: A Taste of Verduno (Locanda Verde): Very much in the dark and brooding style and perhaps with a bit more oak. It’s an intense wine. Drying in style. Funny because it drinks much younger than the two younger siblings.
