Light translucent color, prunes, dried figs, mainly secondary aromas. Went with 60s. Tinge of sweetness in the end.

Trickling down my throat...like a river of dry, gentle fruity flavour. It's subtle, like a 5'4" point guard. It catches you off guard, like a 7 year old girl at recess. It fulfills you, like waking up from a dream where you think you missed final exams. Solid choice.

Not My best Barolo moment, found it a bit bland and dull.

2005 vintage, 500 ml bottle. Forward style of Barolo if not quite international or modern. Nose of tar, spice, leather and some earth. The palate has vanilla (has probably mellowed with age), dark fruits, and mellowed tannins. Good acidity to cut through the fat of the large cut prime rib at Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. Not enough earth to really play with the cedar plank wild mushrooms. I've had older Fontannafreddas and they seemed much more modern in style. The waiter noted that around the mid-2000s they began to change. Would be interested to see if this continued.
