Decated for two hours with surprisingly zero sediment. Last bottle of five, based on this bottle, still several more years of life left. This bottle was personally cellared for 13 plus years, showed excellent balance, ripe cherries dominate the palate with hints of cassis, plum and a good dose of minerals on the finish, there was a touch of austerity that actually added to the complexity of this Barolo. Paired extremely well with an assortment of Italian cold cuts, cheeses and olives.

Deep gone it in color with breaking edge. Nose of plums, dark cherries, and hint of earth. Taste of dark cherries, plums, tobacco, and hint of mushrooms. Rather rustic. I still have some tannins but drinking nicely. Opened up with aeration. Drink over the next 3 to 5 years.

Decanted 1+ hours, Smokey earthy nose, fruit was a bit muted on the palate, hints of plums, dark cherry, some tartness on the finish, still a bit tannic. Personally cellared 11+ years.
