4-5 hour decant at first thought barely opened this quality Barolo but in glass we got some preview of its future majestic state. Initially utterly sealed on the nose. Very strong tannins still need integration & the perfumed rose & Black fruits were coaxed out by much glass swirling. So not complete infanticide but kinda close. Still fascinating though to glimpse the inner power of a developing Barolo

Medium bodied, balanced, firmly structured with juicy acidity, and grippy, mouth coating tannins leading the way to a long finish. May need more shelf time or another hour or so aeration.
