A late decision to open this bottle which didn't help. Good fill level at 3 cm and cork in reasonably good condition. The wine was fairly turbid and should have been left upright for a few days. Very pale hue, but the wine still showed fairly rich texture, good acidity and a considerable amount of fruit. Rose aromas, still noticeable tannin and good acidity all expected from an older Barolo. It could have used a little more structure and complexity but still enjoyable even if a little below expectations.
