Had with Christmas Eve dinner of a tomahawk steak. Good pairing.
Classic Barolo with dark fruit and hints of roses and tar. Benefitted from air over the course of the bottle and would probably benefit from decanting and additional age. Lots of tannin.

Color is a burgundy red or Crimson but around the edges there's a rust colored halo because this is about 10 years old. We are drinking it in 2014 but it was bottled in 2004. The Aroma is a metallic one but rich iron or rusty, and something like a very dark black cherry. The flavor: it's a rich dark powerful wine with strong tannins, and The mouth feel is cool and soft; no identifiable fruit flavors on the tongue but instead tar or earthiness, with a little spiciness, and it's astringent leaving The mouth dry. Tail is dry and characterized by tannins.
