1997 Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga d'Alba - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (8/11/2009)
I took my only bottle of this wine to an offline with Squirrel Jam and our wives in Michigan. 2nd time I have had this wine. The last time was in 2003. I preferred the bottle I had in 2003. I think I got this wine in a trade with Futronic. This is a blend of several vineyards from the Serralunga area.
We did not decant this wine. This wine had some funk to it when first opened so some decanting would have helped. Some bricking. Soft fruit notes of cherry and pomegranate. Dried mushroom flavors as well. Somewhat short on the finish. I would drink this over the next few years if this bottle is representative. 86-87 points.
