My favourite wine Barolo - so do share!

Depends on how it's been stored. If in the right temperature it should be fine, Barolo is a rather fine wine however, if it's just been sitting on a shelf it could taste like vinegar. I hope it's the former, enjoy, and I'm jealous.

captain2, re your reply. it lists this particular barolo at £149. would that be for a case or a single bottle?

[Captain2]

Per bottle you jammy so and so!

[Captain2]

Agree with Blue Toffee though, depends how and where it has been stored, could be wonderful or good on chips.

i can't remember how long i've had it but it always has been stored in a wine rack and always in a shady place tho not a cellar. i gotta admit i'm a tad gobsmacked about it.

now i know its potential value, i'm not sure i can afford to drink it!
