Perfectly aged Barolo. All the year and roses you could want. Great underrated vintage drinking beautifully now but far from decline. #barolo #borgogno #nebbiolo

Vintage 2000 - beautiful complex smell, autumn forrest, leather, hints of mocca and chocolate. The taste has very, very high bitters, difficult without food. But wíth food it is heaven! #barolo #nebbiolo

So sad, our last meal @inoteca. '96 Borgogno Riserva and truffled egg toast make for a marvelous send-off! Thank you 'inoteca! #inotecalastsip

Very classic Barolo with very drying tannins but not overwhelming. Paired well with the Parmesan cheese appetizer Risotto and strip steak.

2000 vintage on 19.5.17
To celebrate life....
A little bit brown on the edge. Total I would say brick red. Decanted for 3 hours. It is still growing in the nose. From leather to forest to truffle. In the mouth warm spices. Nice balance with some bitters. Smooth tanins. Truly great wine!
