2005 Marcarini "Brunate" Barolo - Pale and hazy ruby. Upon opening it smelled like a whiskey barrel. 2 hours later the aromas developed into iron/bloody/stoney mineral, leather and powdery floral notes with ripe earthy cherry. Great acidity, medium herbaceous driven tannins carefully lifted by the alcohol. Lean and dry chinato-like flavors of orange peel and red fruits. Great bitter herb finish. Decant for 3 hours and Drink now or hold for 10.
