Really started to sing after 7 hours. Incredibly complex, refined, pure and powerful. Waves of perfume including wilted flowers, sweet tobacco, dark chocolate, balsamic vinegar and pure red & black berries. One of the best wines in the world for sure.

A nose you can get lost in, deep savory fruit, still a bit tight but enjoyable.

Mind-blown! Roses, tabacco, leather, cedar, orange peel, sweet spices, liqueur dark fruits on the nose, essential oils. So layered. Incredible structure - silky tannins, robust, concentrated. Still thriving with that acid drive. A remarkably long finish. Can't get my nose out of the glass even after drinking it all down. Best aged Barolo I've had the pleasure of tasting.

Tried not to fixate on what coulda been, by appreciating how inviting it already was.
