Vintage 2000 - beautiful complex smell, autumn forrest, leather, hints of mocca and chocolate. The taste has very, very high bitters, difficult without food. But wíth food it is heaven! #barolo #nebbiolo

Good fruit last with the bruised apple. So much texture.

2000 vintage on 19.5.17
To celebrate life....
A little bit brown on the edge. Total I would say brick red. Decanted for 3 hours. It is still growing in the nose. From leather to forest to truffle. In the mouth warm spices. Nice balance with some bitters. Smooth tanins. Truly great wine!

Over the hill. A lot of raisin and ripe fruit. I think it was hurt by the drive up to Montana.
