Tuesday, March 25, 2014 - Nose: A lot of cherry liquor mixed with sour cherries and fried mushroom.
Some oak and tar from an old stable as well.
Attack: Oak tannins and sour cherries not much.
Midpalete: Here the flavors blossom. Salmiac and sour cherries. Very acidic and alcoholic. Dry and tannic. Some underlying flavors of tobacco and oak. A wine that you match with food at this point. Too acidic and dry.
Finish: Long, acidic and dry. Sour cherries and oak.
This wine is a good value barolo but nothing special. 90- since it´s young and will develop för another 5 years. Otherwise I would rate it 89.
