With all the excellent recent young Barolo releases lately to try out it’s been a while since I tasted an aged Barolo - within my price point - this is a good refresher of how this wine can mellow out with age.

Spice and dark cherry on the nose. Slow ox for a few hours and filtered some sediment. Earthy dark cherry and cinnamon on the palate, relatively smooth and mouthwatering/tingling with pleasant lingering grippy tannins on the finish.

Fortunately, we had this on hand to replace the flawed bottle. Still, not at its best. Maybe we held it too long.

Very nice, balanced. Surprisingly dark for its age, shows no sign of fading.
