Tasted blind. Reddish tawny color, translucent and looks young. Notes of soy sauce, tea, molasses and some roses. Chewy, still has some pucker. Sweet fruit persists. Guessed ~2000 Barolo. Nice showing.

Like the ‘71 Mascarello a good cork and a high fill that is where the similarities end.
This was a stereotypical aged Barolo and I say that as a compliment. Beautiful aromas of cherries, leather ands dried leaves. This tasted very fresh due to the wonderful acid levels. Juicy cherries , mushrooms, tobacco and dried meats all fought to get the attention of my tastebuds. A finish that defied its age. Wish I had another bottle because I don’t think this one is going anywhere for years

Oh wow. Black licorice. Dark fresh cherry. Gorgeous currant nose. Earth. So much fruit left. And tannin - still.

Smoky aromas, rosehip, old marmelade, dried roses and tar. Well kept acidity, tannins have integrated. Always such a pleasure to have an old bottle like this that is so much still alive.

Bottle was moved before opening. Garnet color, with a cloudy look. After a little bit of funk on the nose that blew off right away, it uncoiled to reveal a gorgeous wine, with rose petals, red fruit and molasses on the nose. On the body, same flavors but very viscous, and ended with a very long finish . Great bottle, glad I have a few more. Additional note: it was a red cap bottle.
