    2019 Vietti Barolo Ravera
    PnP, later decanted for 1 hr
    Nose of strawberries and violets, with hints of liquorice and plums
    Medium-bodied, with a core of plums and tobacco
    Very grippy tannins
    Long, acidic finish
    Needs loads more time, it’s a baby

    2000 Château Latour
    Decanted for 1.5 hrs
    Nose of leather and cassis, with hints of tobacco, graphite and cedar
    Medium-bodied, with a core of cassis and oak
    Grippy tannins even after a hr of decant
    Extremely long, vanilla-like, floral finish. Finish just kept going and going

    Incredible! May I ask what you paid for the Latour?

    Excellent pair! Although I have a preference for la Spinetta (especially the Barbaresco).
