1996 is drinking perfectly right now. These are the prettiest Barolos I've tried. In love with every bottle I've opened.

"Fresh as a daisy" Ken says. Yep!!! Just start to come out of its shell. Floral, getting juicy, and the finish loooong.

Still tight as a drum. Place Rinaldi just behind G Conterno and have always favored 96 but perhaps some will never really charm?

Hands down one of the best Barolo I’ve ever had. We let it decent for 2 hours. I was expecting something brooding from the reviews but this night it was anything but. Light tannins with red fruit, beautiful floral notes with a long finish. Definite wine of the night.

Probably the densest, most powerful wine I've ever had. This absolutely required every minute of the 90+ it had in the decanter. Raisins and structure
