Gave it 3 hours in a decanter before sampling. Dark tawny with some amber. Almost opaque. Fragrant nose. Notes of ripe red cherries and ripe black fruit, iced tea, rose petals and some subtle dark earth. Robust in the mouth. Nice structure with softened tannins. Very perfumed, with a sweetness. Better than I was expecting.

I liked this '97 Barolo, which was nicely balanced but could easily last another decade.

Great winemakers can do great things even with a bad vintage.

Земляника, малина, глина, имбирь, подсыхающие розы, смола, сухая хвоя, кожа. Прозрачная, прочная структура с хорошей глубиной, тонкой сеткой танинов и живой, освежающей кислотностью. Сложно, изящно, очаровательно.

熟成感ハンパない!例えるなら90年代のジェンセンといった感じ。
