I like at least 5 years of aging time, but a lot of that depends upon the producer and vintage. However, it’s not worth getting get too wrapped up in the timing thing. If the Barolo is from a good producer, I am up for seeing how it evolves in the glass even while it’s young. I seldom decant (unless sediment is an issue) as decanting pushes the wine forward; I am interested in watching the wine walk, crawl and smile for the first time.
