  3 hours in the decanter prior to drinking, drank over the next 3 hours.
  Notes of leather, rose, sour cherry and black tea, text book stuff. Dry, gripping tannins that could rip your face off, albeit they do soften a little, but not much, after time in the decanter. Long finish. Holding up really well, drink over the next 5 years. A pleasure to drink.

  Too much wood on the palate. Tannins still strong but approachable (ideally with food). Finish medium-. A step down from my last bottle 3 years ago.

  Terroirs and Vintages of Barolo: Medium red. Vivid on the nose, jumps from the glass. Glue, menthol, spiced plums. Medium weight, intense, with powdery tannins. Didn't make my or the group's top 4, though on re-reading my notes I wonder why not.

  Very tannic on opening but improved after some time in the glass. Powerful, rich fruit but balanced, good acidity. Will try to wait a year or two before opening the next bottle.

  It's nice, with smokey dark cherries on the nose. Robust tannins still, along with strong acid line. Slightly saline finish. Needs further aging.
