  Cork was pristine and sediment was negligible. We've only owned this for the last 10 years so we were a little concerned about prior storage. Decanted and immediately put back in bottle with cork after a small taste which was surprisingly on the light side and fruity with no tannins. Poured it about 4 hours later, and after an initial funky taste, it became a powerful and full glass of wine. No trace of tannins, but big powerful black fruits. This was part of a 10 bottle Italian tasting across all different varietals. It tasted much different than all the other Nebbiolo of the night and to me tasted most like the 2010 Amarone we drank but obviously not as heavy(go figure!). I'd say drink this now and decant for 30 minutes before, no longer.

  Nice classic Barolo. As most Barolo's fine and tiny in the nose. The palate however offers tabacco, leather, clay, moderate burned fruit and spices.
  Feminin Barolo which goes towards Burgundy. I love it. Still to keep for some years to go

  Could still go for years. Smoky, tarry, ,oaky, tea-edged, concentrated Barolo. Rosy cheeked comfort and joy with Toad in the Hole on a Tuesday night. Like a trumpet solo in church at Christmas.
