Saturday, April 11, 2020 - Appearance: Bright and clear, the wine is of medium ruby with fading garnet rim and legs.
Nose: Clean, with medium (+) intensity aromas of red fruit of ripe cherries and raspberry, floral notes of dried flowers, herbal notes of mint, pungent spice of licorice, animal notes of leather, mineral notes of earth, maturity notes of wet leaves. The wine is developing.
Palate: Dry with medium acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velvety texture, medium (+) alcohol and medium (-) body and medium (+) intensity flavors of red fruit of ripe cherries and plum, floral notes of rose, herbal notes of black tea, sweet spice of clove. The wine has a medium (+) finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Barolo with an intense nose showing good complexity, the wine has nice ripe red fruit aromas, evolving to more floral and spicy notes, with some leather characters as well as earth. On the palate it has good balance, well-structured and showing finesse, with good concentration of similar flavors but also having some black tea notes, finishing fairly long. It is ready to drink now but can benefit from further ageing of another 4-6 years.
