nose: lovely and perfumed nose of roasted herbs, dark red cherries, tar, red fruits and a touch of floral tones. On the understated side and very elegant

taste: medium bodied with medium/high acidity and chewy tannins that show off the youth of the wine. Balanced and elegant tones of roasted herbs, dark red cherries, tar and some bits of red fruits blend together behind the acid and tannins

overall: clearly a young barbaresco. This is quite lovely though with a more feminine side that will certainly take some time to fully coax out

nose: tight, but showing a lot of class with lovely tones of dark red fruits, herbs, dark red cherries and strawberry tones. Good depth showing through the tightness right now

taste: medium bodied with chewy tannins and medium/high acidity. The acidity is definitely overbearing right now and showing the youth along with pretty tones of dark red fruits, tar, herbs, and dark red cherries with a touch of roasted herbs

overall: Certainly in need of time. While it wasn't shut down, it wasn't completely giving either. There's a real lovely barolo waiting to come out

nose: pretty and aromatic with lovely tones of red fruits, berries, strawberries and roasted herb tones. Good tones, but lacking depth

taste: elegant and feminine medium body with medium+ acidity with nice tones of red fruits, strawberries, and roasted herbs. The tannins are there, but aren't that rough for a young barolo

overall: this is nice, but lacking the depth that you want from a barolo. Good complexity on both the nose and palate, but it's hard seeing this add more depth with time

nose: very tight and taking a bit to get tones of dark red fruits, perfumes, stawberries and some roasted herbs. Very good depth and tones when they poke out

taste: medium bodied with medium/high acidity and very taught tannins. The tannins are a bit oppressive but with very good tones of tar, roasted herbs, strawberries and dark red fruits. Good depth as well

overall: this was on the tough side. Extremely young, but with something very good being there. What tones did come through were really good on both the nose and palate. This will certainly need time

nose: well balanced but restrained nose of roasted herbs, dark red cherries, black licorice, and tar

taste: very young with the tannins being very coarse right now. Medium/full bodied with medium/high acidity that is fairly piercing along with tones of roasted herbs, dark red cherries, and tar

overall: This is a very young barolo. The tannins are big and chewy with big acidity as well. While not the most complex barolo, this should develop nicely

nose: on the more extracted side with tones of licorice, black fruits, herbs, and black cherries. Decent depth, but lacking a bit

taste: medium bodied with medium+ acidity and chewy tannins. A bit rough with richer tones of licorice, herbs, dark red fruits and black cherries

overall: A solid brunello. Lacks the savory quality I really want from a brunello. Could use a little time, but this isn't a long haul wine

nose: very oak driven nose with rich and extracted tones of anise, black cherries, black fruits, oak, and roasted herbs. Decent depth, but blunted by the oak on the nose

taste: medium/full bodied with very chewy tannins and medium+ acidity. Rich with tones of anise, oak, roasted herbs and black cherries

overall: too much oak and tasted too extracted. It wasn't totally overdone, but it was far from subtle. This could use some time to come together, but I really doubt the oak will pull back enough

nose: while tight, this was a very savory nose with tones of dark red fruits, berries, red cherries, wild spices and roasted herbs

taste: medium bodied with medium/high acidity and very chewy tannins. Extremely young but with excellent tones of dark red fruits, berries, red cherries and roasted herbs

overall: this is very young, but with some real class behind it. There is an elegant and savory quality to it that is very attractive, but this will certainly need time to really show

nose: While the nose is on the tight side, it's very savory and quintessentially tuscan with tones of dark red cherries, dark red fruits, spice tones and currants

taste: medium/full bodied with medium+ acidity with big and chewy tannins and savory tones of dark red cherries, dark red fruits, currants and roasted herbs

overall: this is obviously young and in need of serious time. There is a great savory quality to the wine right now and it should really have something to show in a few years

nose: nicely balanced an aromatic and savory nose with tones of roasted herbs, dark red cherries, florals, and red fruits.

taste: very good medium body with medium acidity and balanced tones of roasted herbs, dark red cherries, red fruits and spice tones

overall: A really nice felsina ccr. The acidity isn't there as much as in previous vintages and its slightly lacking right now for it. Nice and perfumed, but not as good on the palate

nose: very aromatic with plump tones of dark red cherries, licorice, roasted herbs and dark red fruits. Showing a ripeness on the tones with good depth as well

taste: medium/full bodied with forward and plush tones of dark red cherries, spices, licorice and roasted herbs. Medium+ acidity as well with some chewy tannins as well

overall: Shows off the forward quality to the vintage. There is good balance to it but with a plump and plush quality as well. This could use a few years to smooth out

nose: tight, but with good intensity on the savory tones of dark red cherries, roasted herbs, fresh picked roses, spice tones and some red fruits

taste: plush medium body with medium+ acidity and sneaky tannins. Behind the tannins are plush tones of red fruits, dark red cherries, herbs and some fresh picked roses

overall: This could use a few years, but it seems to be an earlier drinking rancia. Well balanced with good acidity+tannins

nose: richer nose with tones of oak, black licorice, dark red fruits and spice tones. On the riper side with the oak certainly showing

taste: fuller bodied with some chewy tannins and medium+ acidity. The tones have a rich quality to them with tones of oak, black licorice and dark red fruits

overall: the oak is a bit too much on both the nose and palate. Not a bashful rosso and fairly full throttled in a sense.

nose: deep and powerful nose filled with tones of dark red cherries, spice tones, dark red fruits, violets, herbs and loads of berry flavors. There is a real big intensity on this without being over the top

taste: medium/full bodied with medium/high acidity and chewy tannins. The tannins are very noticeable and behind them are powerful tones of dark red cherries, dark red fruits, violets, herbs and berry tones. There is good layering already behind the tannins

overall: This does need some time to fully round into form, but it should turn into a stunner. The class is there already and it just needs some time to fully speak. Great depth on both the nose and palate right now

nose: fairly plush on the nose with red fruits, berries, herbs and spice tones. Very good depth, but slightly ripe

taste: medium bodied with medium acidity. Plump feel with forward tones of red fruits, berries, and spice tones

taste: excellent depth with a very good medium feel and medium/high acidity that is very noticeable. Balanced with real good tones of minerals, biscuits, white fruits, and green apples

taste: there is some power behind this with a real good medium feel and very noticeable medium/high acidity. Balanced with real good tones of almonds, white fruits, wet stones, minerals and leesy tones

taste: rich and full bodied with medium+ acidity that is very noticeable. Balanced with tones of oranges, white fruits, citrus tones, and some bits of white florals

overall: This is quite young and in need of some time. It could use another 3 years to fully unwind and show what it has.

nose: tightly wound with good tones of lemons, various citrus tones and a touch of white fruits. Very nice nose, but lacking some depth and complexity

taste: excellent and balanced medium feel with medium+ acidity. A bit shy on the palate with tones of citrus, fresh picked lemons and white fruits

taste: medium/full bodied with medium+ acidity and well balanced tones of peaches, citrus tones, and minerals. Nice depth, but a little restrained right now with very noticeable acidity

taste: medium bodied with medium+ acidity. Nice tones of citrus, minerals and pears but lacking a bit on the mid-palate
