Out of the bottle into the glass. A suspiciously translucent and raisiny brown. This wine suffers from progeria... not a bad thing if your a 2011 Barolo sitting open on my counter but extremely unfortunate if your lying around in some cellar doing nothing. The clock is ticking on this one. A quick swirl and a whiff meh... Smells like Nebbiolo. Cheap Nebbiolo. First taste mere seconds in the glass.... Flat and watery... Watery, the key sign of an oxygen starved bottle... Some wines need to breathe... Some don't. This one does. Just a little... A baby's breath... Well actually, I dipped an aero latte in it and gave it a whirl until it developed a rich creamy head and Wow! This little wrinkly, raisinated tot matured into Barolo! With roses and tar and terra cotta earthiness and a palate to match. What a surprise!

Impressively delicate and accommodating vis a vis the many furiously hard Nebbiolo out there from 2011. Crunchy rhubarb, green strawberries, chipped slate.

Jan 21st, 2016Dark red fruit, cocoa and cola with some meaty char and tar, but it’s soft and approachable. A good wash of acid. Tannins have settled down already, providing savoury texture without brutal grip.
