Lovely wine. Opened up and rounded out after about four hours double decanted. Supple cherries, bitter almond, tar. Lots of life left in this one.

Excellent with half an hour breathing. Medium color. Beautiful aromas of flowers. Tannin still strong but refined. Lengthy finish.

1998. Starting to open up. Very dark, intense fruit without any of the perfumed sides I love from Barolo.

Fully mature barolo starting to brown at the edges. Still complex nose, plenty of good acidity, strong taste of sandalwood and leather. Do not wait, drink now.

Smooth, warm, velvety. Blonde tobacco, white pepper, cream and spices. Very feminine. Just missing some red fruit.

Decanted for 2 hours and it starts to open up. Tar, wood, floral, some sort of sweet aroma undertone, fruity on the palate. still tastes vibrant and young!
