This is pretty basic, generic Barolo, but, well, it's still Barolo, and it offers decent, if unimpressive, aromas of leather (like an old shoe), cherry, raspberry, and prune-raisin, with some vanilla and milk chocolate, as well as refreshing berry acidity on the palate. The acidity suggests an opportunity for further aging, but there just doesn't seem to be much stuffing here, and so it's probably at or near its peak. It works as an introduction to Barolo, and it does improve with significant aeration, but that's about it.

Bu dans un resto, choisi par notre hôte! Très pâle, nez timide sur la terre et le sous-bois. En bouche, corps léger, tannins effacés, fruit en retrait avec en prime un peu de chauffe. Très moyen et mauvais achat, surtout au prix du resto!!!

Very underwhelming. Very light color, nose and palate. Not sure if this is young and tight or just a very low end Barolo. No development at all over 2 days. I guess that's what you get with a 18USD Barolo.

sehr verschlossen, noch jung, aber im Abgang sehr samtig, weich und rund, gelungen, ein schöner Barolo! Im Glas reife Erdbeeren, kann gut noch 5 Jahre reifen Super- Preis Leistung, für 8,99 bei ALDI SÜD erworben, wow, das ist weit weniger als die Hälfte des wahren Wertes!

Lite red with a dusting of brown. Black pepper, moldy strawberries, and a sprinkling of dust. Notes of dust and wild strawberries. Bright raspberries in the finish. General umami after about an hour of air. Very tasty.

Still pretty harsh. Not a wine I like nor do I think will improve with age. Consistent over 4 days.

Just unremarkable. Not much of anything going on.
