Tuesday, February 9, 2021 - 2016 Barolo Check-in: Fragrant and quite soft/delicate nose of red fruit, rose petal, and blood orange. Medium+, drying tannins with good acidity, red berries, a hint of cedar and leather, and sweet fruit on the palate. Quite velvety mouthfeel and a very long finish. This was a bit harder to read and not my favorite at first, but it got more and more beautiful with time in the glass and the last sip was just outstanding. Clearly the most elegant of the wines tasted. 95-96+
Note: Bottle was opened a few days before tasting.
