Slow-o in bottle (no decant) for 3 hours and then served
from bottle at restaurant.
Luscious nose and fruit from the start. Color is
showing some signs of age. 14% alc. Nice finish. Not a tremendous amount of
complexity. More fruit and tannin ... not so much characteristic tar
profile that a great barolo should have, though... I would classify this
as more modern in style although it is not marked by an overabundance of oak.
A bit one dimensional in character but enjoyable.
The Asbury is a new restaurant in Charlotte … results are a bit of a mixed bag... a
few dishes that were spot on... some of the others were not executed very
well...
Positives were:
- yellow fin tuna
(crudo) ceviche appetizer. .. the tuna was shaved ...very fresh and delicious
- drop biscuits baked in cast
iron skillet with bacon jam (ridiculously good)
- scallops accented with small
pieces of country ham and a very light drizzle of caramelized white chocolate
on the scallops (sounds weird but it worked nicely)
