Tasting notes
Mature mid ruby with bright brickstone rim. Nose of mushrooms and wet earth but classy. Tangy fruit with gravelly frame. Still juicy and animating. And tactile with a long fruit finish. Still lots of energy. (WS)

A little hint of decay on the nose. A bit rubbery and tough. Not sure this is mature Barolo at its best but it shows that it can last! (JR)
Slightly oxidised nose but very transparent and lifted. Sweet start, pruney. Dry finish but quite ethereal. Tarry. (JR)
