Monday, August 25, 2008 - nose: wonderfully pungent nose of roasted herbs, sour cherry, lavender, and some wood smoke tones. wonderfully balanced and sweet aromatics that just linger in your nose
taste: nice bold flavors of sour cherry, roasted herbs, and tar with hints of lavender starting to creep in with delicious balance
overall: a really pretty Barolo with tart acidity and still firm tannins that provide a tasty roasted herb attack and tar based finish. The nose on this is the real winner as it is just sumptuous and slowly changes and reveals more and more
