      Sorry

      it was a 2008 Barolo Villero, Castiglione Falletto, Giuseppe Mascarello

      Decanted for about 2 hours. Looks as light as Ribena, very floral and red fruits on the nose (Strawberries and Raspberries), but with a real firm backbone. The colour belies its power.

      Really impressed, 3 bottles left price is circa £65 a bottle.

      highly recommended.

          You wuz robbed, you can get a case with BBR for £40 a bottle. I'd expect to pay £65 if it was an older vintage.

            Yup, but you actually know quite a bit about wine where as the OP was just a clueless brash attempt to brag by one of the forum trolls with more toes than braincells.

              Well sir I beg to differ as these were actually from BBR. in fact the 2009 and 2010 are slightly more expensive.
