Late Night
Pio Cesare Barolo Vertical
Just a 3 year vertical of Pio Cesare Barolo with pork loin in fig marmalade.
'96 - WOTN. Perfectly subdued, lovely floral aromas, soft edges, but still plenty of firm tannin.
'97 - Off. The bottle was just not quite right. It wasn't tainted, just dumb. It never improved.
'98 - This wine showed the potential to be as good as the '96 but still very muscular and tough. I liked it a lot but it was just slightly clumsy in its "bigness".
I think that all 3 wines will benefit from an additional 10 years, so no rush.
