Potent and explosive in feel, the 2006 Barolo (magnum) is a brooding, imposing wine. Dark fruit, menthol, spice and mocha infuse the 2006 with notable depth. As impressive as the 2006 is, there is a slightly advanced quality that is worth watching over the next few years. It’s hard to say if that nuance has always been present, or if it simply made more evident because of the presence of so many strong vintages in this tasting. Either way, it seems pretty obvious that the 2006 doesn’t reach the level of more recent vintages. Of course, it is also possible this particular magnum was not totally perfect.

Wow. This wine is finally opening up. Really beautiful and aromatic. Best bottle I've had. Still too young but it's gorgeous

Cranberry, dried raspberry, black tea, rose water. Still young and fresh. More more generous after two hours but has many years before it hits it's stride.
