  Splash decanted and tasted 90 minutes later. Modern in style but very open and expansive once it had the air. Very good with food and on its own. Was the WOTN for many. Will hold for a while be really good now with air. A-

  Consistent with bottle last year… shows much better with an hour or so in a decanter. Still quite youthful appearance, good fruit. It’s silky texture and long finish may be this wines most impressive characteristic. Its “modern” style makes this wine very approachable, especially in the more rustic 96 vintage

  This is very nice mature Barolo showing medium- body, discreetly fine aromas of red berry fruit, rose petals following onto palate which added delicious minerals, silky texture and tar towards the decently long finish. The overall impression was of restrained elegance. Perhaps decanting would have revealed more but, in early summer ambient temperatures, I was concerned that the wine might become too warm. In the next few weeks, this problem may become more severe. So very good, even though I was hoping for more given the producer and vintage reputations.

  Piemontese Legends Dinner (Seattle): Full ruby. Prominent piney wood n the nose. Medium body with a very supple feel. Lovely concentrated fruit and spice, but a bit simple compared to the other two ‘96s. Astringent wood on the finish.
