We experienced a very pronounced bitterness on the palette towards the end - something we liked - we good sour cherries, cranberries, rose petals and camphor - we are also getting some forrest floor - the wine has a great balance everything is well integrated but both tannins and acidity are still medium +. The wine is in its drinking window but will still develop further - we like the wine and are increasing our rating to 92. (378 views)

Simple et assez fermé, restreint et peu bavard.
Sans défaut mais sans émotion aussi.

I served it as a blind tasting rather late - it is a well balanced barolo with a good balance - for me the wine is still young I do like it but will start with 91 more to come no doubt about that. (345 views)

90-91. Excellent with osso bucco a la Milanaise with gremolata. Not a great wine for the price but interesting nonetheless. (483 views)

From magnum. Mosconi not present here (vineyard was bought in 2014). What is immediate here is how harmonious the nose is between fruit, spice/pepper (and all those magnificent tertiaries such as truffles, leather, sandalwood), and lactic sensations/cream. This one is truly phenomenal. It is at the apex of its expression and Barolo-ness. Irresistible - you just want to die in this. (643 views)

Cherries, dark berries and toast. Medium body. Balanced, leaning acidic. Smooth, with soft tannins and a long finish. Paired well with spaghetti and ground pork meatballs. Many years left. (1056 views)

Slightly acidic; tastes like a mix of cherry and cranberry juices so it's noticeably tart. Quite light and lacking depth of flavor; it has very little sense of terroir nor the classic Nebbiolo flavors of black tea, spices, road tar and red roses. Decanted over 3 hours with minor improvement. (1332 views)

Decanted for over an hour, drank over a few hours.

Nose: All spice, cinnamon, mushroom, forest floor, raspberry, orange zest, river rock, very subtle leather, cherry, lilac. The nose really leaves an impression.

Taste: Strawberry, cherry, high-ish acidity but very balanced, leather, and a follow through on the notes indicated in the nose section. Still tannins but I think this is terrific right now. It feels like a great expression of the terroir. Only oak presence is the resulting well-integrated flavors above.

It will probably reward for a few more years, but it can go longer if you are willing to lose some of the primary characteristics. I've little experience with older Barolo, so take that for what it's worth. (1409 views)

Garnet to Ruby rim hue that opens with hibiscus and black tea aromas. Raspberry and fig flavors are prominent up front while leather, clove and sweet tobacco lingers on a lasting finish. Tannins are integrated nicely and balance against the acidity and fruit. (1365 views)
