Out of magnum. Surprisingly developed. Totally secondary. Good fruit but earthy savory notes dominate

Best pizza in NYC, best wine of the night. 2006 Barolo. So elegant. Dark cherries and damp earth.

Good. Keeps alternating between eventful classic BAROLO, and delicate dark cherry juice that's slightly over the hill. Right sip it's a killer 9.3 with earth and forest and cherries and herbs and all the kings horses and men keeping humpty together. 5 minutes later them horseys be tired and things start to fall apart. But then it rebounds. At the very least this bottle's been an event.

This 13 year old Barolo was a beauty. Great floral bouquet but with a real earthy old world flavour.

Dynamite nose with lovely nuance but just a tad reticent on the palate, a bit clipped on the finish. Delightful nonetheless. The 2004.

More herbaceous, spiced, lighter, elegant. Also a stunner.

Cerejinha suja de terra e violetas. Delicioso, muito mais acessível do que o esperado. Claro que com o foco todo na fruta e com muito a ganhar.
