Slow ox 3 hours, followed by 2 hour decant, and enjoyed with traditional spaghetti with pomodoro sauce, shaved Parmesan and rolled meatballs. Ruby, clear. Hint of tar, smoke, botanicals on nose, with red fruits coming to the fore with time in the glass. Medium bodied. Dried cherry on the palate. Medium plus acidity. Tannic bite on the finish, mellowed by prolonged air and food. Elegant. Give it plenty of air at this point to show its best. Will be better with a few years of age.

Thanksgiving wine #2. The nose was a bit shy, but came around eventually. Elegant, finessed and focused Barolo. Plenty of structure, but quite approachable and easygoing. This had a dark cherry & black yea note that I kept coming back to as I drank it. Great wine.
