At a Piedmonte tasting, and there was another bottle of the 07 Bergadano opened right before this one. It was popped and poured, this was decanted for about about 5 hours. interesting differences. Both were wonderful wines; I preferred the decanted one. It was a bit softer, more integrated and balanced. But the other was vibrant and alive, and was quite good. All agreed that this has aging potential, approachable now, but will get better.

Decanted about 4 hours. Dark garnet. Wonderful nose, with some floral notes. Very smooth on the palate, lots of fruit and some spice, plenty of structure and backbone, but with none of the harshness that can accompany a young Barolo. The person rating this 84 must have been drinking something else...
