Still a baby, but drinks beautifully if opened an hour in advance.

Second straight time - just not feel in’ it. It was fine. But nothing memorable. Strange to me that for a 22 year old wine there was zero sediment. The edges in the glass were light but not the typical orange hewed. Definite tea notes with astringent finish. Some fruit but nothing pronounced. Finish was short. Decanted and drank this bottle over 5 hours with no change throughout. I was just surprised it had no complexity or layers to it. Just straight forward and narrow. Oh well…

2000 Conterno Monfortino Barolo Reserva. Decanted 1.5 hours before serving and it was still opening up. Could easily have decanted this 3 hours in advance. Still, it was approachable and a very elegant wine. Tons of tannin and structure. ACan see how this wine will develop into a superstar. Really plush wine. Dark fruit on the front, oriental spice, cedar and earth notes on the finish.
