  Pompette Salon《酌樂 Series XII》 情人、反派與智者：男中音的極致魅力 (Taichung, Taiwan): This has a broad nose of deep blackberry, plum, rose petal, and sous bois. Melted tannin with dark cherry and smoke. Long finish.

  Neb Vinous Bring a Great Barolo (Il Buco, NYC): [Double-decanted around 11am.] Restrained nose of dark black fruit, tar, and licorice. Stunning in the mouth. Gorgeous, ethereal, complex. Wow! Clearly one of the top wines of the vintage.

  Beautiful bottle. Fully mature. Sweet core of dark cherry/strawberry fruit surrounded by layers of spices and balsamico. Silky, long, and lifted.

  Really needed an hour to open up, at which point it was very good.

  Just a bit more muted than expected. Lovely depth here with delicious earthy flavors along with notes of tar, balsamic and dark spice but the finish is short and without much complexity. Several bottles tasted with the same result so perhaps this wine is past it's best which surprises me. Maybe this batch of bottles were not stored perfectly.
