  Better than my last bottle. This one has softened tannins and typical Nebbiolo flavors. Not a powerhouse, but drinking well now. I doubt this will improve much more, but it should still be good for another decade.

  Opened a bit funky but blew off quick.
  Nose of rose petals, strawberry and a bit of eaten. Palate show a beautifully fleshed out Barolo that comes across gracefully and elegant. Red fruits showcasing near ripe strawberries, cardamom, and orange peel. Nice balance and I would say near fully resolved but an underline of tannins still show holding it all up; a tiny note of petroleum jelly on nose does not detract but adds interest. Color shows age well but does tell you it's 10+ years old I purchased a bunch of these way back when on WTSO for $30 and I did very very well

  Needs 5 years. Acidity and tannins overwhelmed the fruit despite a 5-hour decant.

  After 3 hours in the decanter, garnet color, with nose of methanol, earth and dried cherry. Cherry flavors with some tannins. Acidity on finish.
