#AgedWineTuesday Dark brick in color. Pretty nose of stewed red fruits, light oak, spices, caramel, sweet chocolates notes, smoked meat and black pepper. Light to medium in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with raspberries, sweet cherries, cooked plums, earth, light forest floor, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper. Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy strawberries. This 42 year old Barolo is just gorgeous now. Drinking beautifully with great complexity and mouthfeel. Elegant and rich. Well balanced and powerful. Feels like it still has power in it to last even longer, although I don't see it getting much better from this point on. Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 10 years. Easy drinking right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine. Still showing great acidity and feels vibrant and very much alive. Delicious, powerful and delectable. This is a wonderful experience. I just love tasting these kind of aged wines. 100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged for 12 months in cement vats and then for 5 years in Slavonian oak barrels. 14% alcohol by volume. 94 points. $350.

Rich concentration & intensity, slightly unexpected of a wine of this age, dark black plum & anise, spent black tea, dirty dried leaves/undergrowth, it's a modern style developing extremely well.
