2003, taking awhile to open up but getting smoother by the sip.

Very nice barolo. Was the perfect match to our lamb chops.

Powerful, woodsy and alcoholic in the nose. Sweetish, very ripe and warm, slightly drying in the back.
First I placed this in the New World, but the considerable level of acidity made me think Italy in the end.
Very good wine though, to drink now or in 4 years time.
