Saturday (Mostly) Bordeaux Lunch with Friends (Prairie Grass - Northbrook IL): Tasted double blind. Rich black cherry start-to-finish with floral notes and plenty of spice, probably too influenced by too much new oak. Good concentration and length, and very tasty overall. Very modern styled, in fact I thought this from Bordeaux, and other tasters were also in that (non Nebbiolo) camp.

Drank as soon as I opened and determined not to decant. Within 30 minutes it lost robustness, but was an excellent choice for lasagna

Bricked
Dried roses, old tobacco on the nose
Dark fruit is mostly gone, but long , harmonious and complex finish. Perfect Barolo!

Tons of VA. Undrinkable. 2 bottles like this. I don’t buy Ratti any more since the VA, even when reined in, is elevated.
