This wine is entering maturity and has developed some nice notes of forest floor. The tannins are fully integrated. Good fruit, tough very feminine. 92 points.
This was purchased in 04 when there was a huge sale on the wine, sorry can;t remember the price, but some of you will remember the sale.
I’d be psyched to get more of this wine at fire-sale prices, bummed that I missed it the first time around, it’s a great wine!
Otto enjoying slightly aged Barolo?
I need to run outside and check the moon or tides…
Todd, let me put it in Jack’s words: “F@ck you!” 
Last time I had this it was no where ready. I was thinking 15+ years old before I try another one.
Yeah, I don’t know if it’s 15 years, but I’ve had this wine multiple times and I would agree with Paul that it’s still very young, at least from my stash. One of my favorite wines from the vintage.
Why must I be constantly misquoted on these Boards???
