No Aglianico in the house, so Barolo it is. Dried red cherries, tar, lots of acid & tannin.

Need time to open, very smoky tones, silky long finish, an important wine - careful selection of vineyards on Serralunga d'Alba and Barolo

2005 vintage. In a great place currently, between enjoying now and continuing to cellar. Either choice is a good one. Fruit, body, flavors melding together supremely well with any sharp edges rounded off significantly. Plenty of grip, structure and flavors remaining for those that want to continue to age. Optimal tasting pleasure likely to continue till 2032 or so. If it was still holding court amongst rivals, suitors and enemies until 2037, twould not surprise. 5.17.23.

V07. Outstanding. White pepper, smoked meat and rose petal nose. Rich, deep black cherry, blackberry and tar hint fruit. Dry, smooth, slightly chewy leather finish. All nicely balanced. Definite food wine.
