The 2004 Barolo (magnum) is soft and silky, but it is also more forward than I expect, or want, to be honest. Dried flowers, leather, spice, game and dark-fleshed fruit fill out the layers. Vertical tastings serve, among other things, to shine a bright light on a single wine over many vintages. In this context, the 2004 does not live up to my original enthusiasm.

Super ripe fruit and still acts like a baby ... A wonderful hint of soy, plum and dark peeper. This wines finish lasts for like 4 minutes ... I adore it

Youthful but still quite expressive, this is an excellent traditionally-styled Barolo.
