Roasted bird, savory and decadent nose at the start, seems at its best in the hour after opening. I wouldn’t wait too long, it seems ready to go for decant/serve. It’s delicious, fleshy, dried cherries, pruny and umami. Medium finish, doesn’t seem to find that higher gear to go all the way to the back palate, but it is thoroughly delicious, and I don’t take that lightly. I don’t think I would expect it to transform into a different species over the next decade, but I also don’t think i have enough experience watching Barolo evolve to say that confidently. Really good bottle of wine, I’d put it squarely at a 9.1 if I were to give numbers for shit like that.
