This is why you cellar wine! Lovely aromatics, vibrant red fruits and acidity. Tannins have mellowed nicely. Beginning to show some tertiary notes. A real pleasure to drink!

Double decanted. Aired for 2 hours and then consumed. Very good. Sous bois. Reddish fruits. Sappy. Needed the air to show its best.

Textbook Barolo with a bit of age. Light tar. A bit of licorice. Still racy. Not the Ornato, but great with pepperoni pizza.
