I grilled NY Strips and served over sauteed spinch and garlic and
garnished with shaved Red Cow Parmigiano Reggiano and opened a bottle
of 1999 Poderi Colla Barolo Bussia dardi le Rose. I've been working
my way through a case of this wine bought on release and I still keep
finding a bottle here and there in my cellar..I must have moved it
around to make space and forgot about it. The wine is ruby red in
color with no obvious signs of age. Bright, aromatics of red
raspberry, cherry, and typical Barolo tar and rose notes. Medium
weight and well balanced the joy of this wine is in the incredible
power of the fruit and the delightful balance of acidity, body and
tannins. Nice Barolo drinking well. "A"

I think it's at the upward stage of it's plateau. There is still
plenty of fruit but the tannins are beginning to smooth out and
secondary characteristics are kicking in.
