Have this 5 hrs in the decanter. Nice color, tawny and mostly opaque. Awesome nose. Notes of red fruit, roses, English tea, some anise and some spice. Nicely balanced in the mouth. Fruit is still there, matched with nice structure to give a long finish. Should stay at this peak for the foreseeable future.

Jan 21st, 2023Opened and left in a decanter for 3 hours before touching it. Brownish red rims with a tawny center. Amazing perfume in the nose. Notes of ripe cherries, rose petals, afternoon tea, pepper and anise, some soy, some black dirt and a little black tar. The subtle but very present fruit is matched with some great structure in the mouth. Nicely balanced. As the evening progresses this grows even more in the glass. A textbook, well-aged Barolo in full bloom.

Feb 28th, 2021Dark tawny color. Powerful nose. Notes of black plum, tea, roses, black earth and some anise. Balanced. Rounded out over 8 hours. In a great zone right now. Everything you want in a nicely aged Barolo. Give it its needed air.
