My third and last bottle of this. Unfortunately, not much has changed since the last bottle. When I first opened this, there is no way I would have guessed this as Barolo in a blind tasting. It was unbelievably thick, jammy, high-glycerin, and loaded with black fruit. It really reminded more of California Zinfandel than Nebbiolo. With some air, the wine's extremes dialed back towards the middle, and this got drinkable, but I never really loved any part of this bottle, which I consumed and tasted over the course of three nights. This is my first and only experience with Einaudi, and based on this experience, I would put Einaudi in the category of producers I would never purchase from again. Not terrible, but this isn't what great Barolo is all about in my opinion.
