Translucent. Really clear and lifted. Consommé- like. All the flavors are the old version of themselves- dried rose petals, black tea, orange rind, soft dried cherry. Delicate and focused. Given its age, a beautiful bottle. Subtle

Nov 5th, 2020A little bricking on the edges but the nose is very pure. Shows it’s age but not defeated at all- there’s dried cherry and some leather on the nose. The midpalate fleshes out over hours in glass. It’s lean, translucent, medium bodied but still quite pure and fine. Notes of tea, dried roses, kombucha. There’s little actual decay here- it’s showing age but aging at a glacial pace. You need to love this kind of wine but I do when they’re in this shape. Very good.

Incredibly youthful and complete. One of the greatest barolo I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying. Notes for myself: FDB bottle
