Tar, tar, more tar. Tree bark , lots of umami on the nose.,Black flowers, earth, lots of sous bois, deep and pleasantly dank after 3+ hours of decanting. Upon opening, this was very tight. A very dark rendering of a three vineyard Barolo. With unadorned steak, very nice. The tannin/acid balance was quite nice. Bottle gone before you knew.Everyone at the table was pleased to say the least. At first, some got a “dead fish” on the nose, but…this did not prevent diving back in.
One of the nicest Baroloi I’ve had in quite a while.
