gorgeous bright red cherry, leather, tobacco, a little mint, mushroom powder and tar... elegant and old school, bright cherry is incisive and pure, myriad spicy, earthy and roasted notes linger long, lovely Barolo

Ruby red with light brown edges. This was double decanted and recorded about 10 hours before consumption. The bottle including the cork was in excellent condition. Complex aromatics of dried cherries, leather, roasted meat, and tar. Lovely balance and length. This was drinking very well at this point in its evolution. A real pleasure! My thanks to DR who gave this to me years ago for a birthday present.

Gorgeous - tar & roses on the nose, ripe cherry fruit with good acidity on the palate, and feeling fresh & lively for a 30+ year old wine. Unfortunately, my last bottle.

In a really good place. Classic Barolo tar and roses with a hint of bitter chocolate. There's truffle and Indian spice development and tannins have softened yet are supportive. It is long, savoury and satisfying.

From MAG. This was a really great Barolo. Light color, amber, mature. The nose was terrific, very Nebbiolo with tar, roses. Stayed relatively light and elegant on the palate with a lovely tannic punch at the end. Nice!
