Palate: Dry with high acidity, the wine has medium (+) tannin of ripe and velverty texture, with medium (+) alcohol and full body. It has medium (+) intensity flavors of black fruit such as cassis and plum, dried fruit of prune, oak notes of cedar, sweet spice of cloves, kernel notes of nutty. The wine has a long finish.
Conclusion: Very good quality Barolo showing intense nose of high complexity, the wine has an amazing range of aromas and showing big difference upon first opening and after decanting for several hours. On the palate it is well-structured, with good harmony on the acidity, body and alcohol, showing a powerful yet balanced wine of good concentration and an accompanying long finish. Ready to drink now, the wine can benefit from further ageing of another 5-7 years.
