Fantastic! Bright, juicy, round. Great structure despite age. Good funk without volatile qualities. Yum!

Violet aromas and purple flavors. Tannins stout but not too massive. Loooong.

The nose is still showing. Prunes over power the tart cherry. Tannins have softened and acid are still sufficient.

Somewhat amber color, and sweetness. Drink it if you have it!

The best Barolo I ever had! Tar and roses. Half a bottle, but still packs a tannins bite.

Italian night at the Keefer’s with this ‘97 vintage Barolo! Vibrant, still very lush dark fruits, graphite, very complex! Classic Italian!
