Classic, Nebbiolo character, and 2009 richness are all but suffocated by extreme volatility. Even the AM after positive, classic character is marred by unappetizing volatility. Never tasted another Massolino wine like this. Hopefully, this is a bottle issue and not representative of the entire production of this wine.

Modernistic barolo, great finesse, less than spectacular vintage.

Big fruit & tight tannins up front. Should open up nicely.

Flat when first tasted. Tannins developed after time. Loved the fennel on the nose.

1hr+ decant, not sure it helped or hurt. Dark red color with browning edges. Smells like an old cellar or closet or wooden box. Rustic with decent tannins. Smooth but short finish. Probably past prime

Wow... what a wine! Already layering chocolate and liquorice. Soft enough tannins to call it approachable.
Great wine. Love it.

Excellent post Stelvins Barolo. Not too sweet, but note overly tannic. Cherry. Mild chalk on the tongue. Approachable. Drinking well now.
