More dark fruit and oak in evidence than I remember from previous years — 9 days ago
Pio Cesare
Barolo Nebbiolo 2009
This was nice with Bolognese.
Excellent integration & evolution. Fine tannins, some dark blackberries, dark sour cherries, blood orange w/ rind, soft spices, sandstone mineral dust, dark withering flowers, good acidity and a smooth, elegant finish that lasts a full minute.
This was in a good spot and will hold another 5-7 years, but believe its ascenion is complete. — 15 days ago

YUM! should hold a few more years...drink em if you got em. — 4 days ago
