Loads of dark fruit, tar, gravel, dried herbs and espresso with massive tannins still! This bottle, despite being 15 years old, seems like it was born yesterday. I wish I had more because this would be a treat to try again in 2034. Decades of life left, obviously. This is what I love about Cru Barolo.

Pretty serious Barolo. Gave top names a run for their money. Opened 20 years too young. Beware MASSIVE tannins!

Big, rich, Complex, with dark fruit nose and lots of tannic grip. Fabulous with ribeye steaks. Needs time.
