this is a really interesting wine.
On the first bottle --- I tried a sip shortly after opening – it was light. Then it proceeded to get bigger and bigger as it opened up until it was a mouthful when finishing it after dinner.
So I figured boy this needs to breath a long time (I think I mentioned that when I recommended it) so on #2 I opened it and just let the bottle sit for like 4 hours. When I tried it I didn’t think it was right, not all that great. So I put it in a decanter and somehow it did it’s magic and soon became delicious.
I’ve got the feeling that this would benefit by a few more years in the bottle. For sure I’m decanting and letting it sit on the next one.
This is not a DOCG Barolo or Barbaresco other wise it would say that on the bottle. I suspect it has some other wine blended in. but who cares it’s good.
