  This was my first experience with this producer and the first 2018 Barolo, which are apparently drinking very well. I was generally impressed on both fronts. The wine has a dark garnet ruby color right now with medium level transparency at the rim. Nose is pretty typical Barolo and definitely evolved over the course of the evening: dark cherry, spearmint and fresh herbs which eventually transitioned into a bit more tar and roses as the wine opened up. High degree of acidity present early on also blew off but was not misplaced, as it adds to the structure of the wine. Notes of iron and just a trace of roasted red pepper on the finish completed the cycle. Drank over four hours without decanting (we weren’t sure we’d finish it), I’m generally impressed with this winemaker and will try again! I think this is a potential 93-94 in five years. Excellent price point too.
