Very underwhelmed. Developed but not complex. Alcohol a little disjointed. Not enough of the flavors I expect.

Dark horse of the night. Still fresh but in general a well-timed bottle.

2008 just losing its baby fat. Perfect for tonight's fig balsamic pork tenderloin & Stanley Cup Final.

Nice bottle. Classic from the nose to the tongue (and reasonably priced to boot). Hard to argue

Really enjoyed this gently sweet Barolo. Very friendly companion for our food selections and quietly dared us to order a second bottle. Challenge accepted!
