Really nice and enjoyable Barolo. Medium bodied and fresh with high acidity and firm tannins. Floral on the nose, fairly long on the palate with red berries, salt liquorice and stones.

Farge: Lys rubinrød Duft: Tørr jord med mørkerøde frukter. Noe friskt Smak: Kraftige tanniner, rundet. Noe morken ved og krekling. Etter hvert også litt surkirsebær m hint av bjørnebær.
Dag 2 Duft: Hint av lakris og trestubbe med litt jord. Smak: Hint av morken ved og antydning til surkirsebær. Rik og god. Antakelig passe å drikke nå

This has a touch too much modern veneer for me, with a fairly notable amount of oak masking an otherwise pleasant young barolo; The palate has plenty of concentration at this young stage, with dense red fruits and some intriguing floral notes; Perhaps the wood will integrate with time, but right now it's a bit much
Dark cherries and quite smooth tannins. For me, the use of barriques shines through too much. Shame. Not going to give plints because I am afraid this bottle may have suffered from being kept in too warm conditions and can't rule out that it might have showed better without that fact.

Farge: Litt kraftig nebbiolo farge Duft: Hint av morken ved og noe 'anilin' Smak: Mørk plomme, en anelse morken ved. Kraftige og rike tanniner, ennå litt skarpe i kanten. Gir en fyldig og behagelig munnfølelse. Ennå litt umoden. 2. Dag lite endring.

Robe rubis limpide, reflet orangé; Le nez est muet au départ, ça prends beaucoup de temps avant que des notes de petits fruits rouges, de fleurs & de réglisse noire se fasse "sentir". L'alcool est perceptible. La bouche est tout aussi muette que le nez. D'abord relativement mince, l'acidité est trop vive vs. la matière. Le temps apporte plus d'équilibre & de la rondeur. Le fruité apparaît lentement. L'ampleur est bonne en attaque & milieu de bouche. Bonne allonge. Bref, probablement trop jeune, les coins sont encore pas mal "rude".

This is a really elegant and quite light Barolo. Approachable and very enjoyable already, although aromatically slightly shy (will improve, i am sure). Quite smooth tannins and a nice minerality that reminds me of salt licorice.

Flickinger Customer Appreciation Tasting (Casino Club - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Nicely floral start, then modest fruit and a slightly coarse finish, even for young, entry level Barolo. Not a personal favorite tonight.
