a bit boozy on "PnP" from coravin. very ripe! fennel. rose. great acid from front to back. no tannic presence=disappointing as a bit of astringence would add another dimension. similar to the previous note: lacks complexity. ripe and one dimensional whilst still (pleasantly) tasting like Nebbiolo

Au même restaurant qu’en août. Servi (trop) frais, passé en carafe, ça l’a réchauffé et ouvert, mieux après 1/2 heure. Saveurs de truffes et de cuir, s’est bien marié avec le risotto aux truffes blanches. A boire

Au restaurant pas de notes formelles. Au nez, très peu d’arômes. En bouche, joli Barolo d’entrée de gamme avec ses saveurs typiques et une finesse très bienvenue. A boire

loved this. tart cherry with a wonderful month feel and very smooth but prevalent tannins. can hold for years but great now! still have a 13 in the cellar.

From a 375ml bottle: Drinks like a fantastic Langhe Nebbiolo with some bottle age.
Not all at complex or that remiscent of "Barolo", but it's simply delicious/well-made and has everything you want from a nebbiolo... beautiful and intense nose, great acid, medium body, and good but integrated tannin.
Drinks fresh and young overall, but there's a hint of oxidation to the fruit

Lovely nose of violets, roses, tar and liquorice. Fuller on the palate, the rose and liquorice really stand out with tobacco and a hint of leather. Great acidity, fine tannins. This is a beautiful wine and drinking wonderfully now for me.

On the second bottle of this in the same sitting. Lovely balance. Fantastic restraint, whilst delivering a super experience. Rose, tobacco, tiny hint of liquorice. This is drinking beautiful now. Luigi Scavino has given us a great early drinking Barolo here

Young and slightly tannic, so I decanted it about one hour, but it's nowhere near its peak. Dark fruit, touch of menthol. Light/medium weight. Good length and balance. Very enjoyable with BBQ. A wine to follow, I'll have to get some more. The next day: slightly smoother, otherwise about the same.

Exakt den typ av ung barolo jag älskar! Eleganta toner av söt frukt och mandel i kombo med en angenäm struktur av syra och silkestanniner. Lite mer av det senare, som i tior och elvor, och betyget hade blivit ännu högre.

Darker fruits and menthol on the nose initially. Floral tones emerge as the wine opens up. The tannins are quite restrained and along with a tart acidity, this is a young Barolo that can give some early pleasure.

This is a great example of a Barolo that is ready to drink at a younger age in my opinion.
It doesn't have the huge acidity and tannin structure of the 2010s, but does not lack for body and balance. It has the lovely rose and tobacco flavour, with more of a cherry fruit. It's almost a bit Burgundian. Supple and smooth this a very enjoyable wine.

A mix of six vineyards across Castiglione and Serralunga (70%, mostly Cerretta) that are crushed together. Very aromatic and fruit forward, with everything in balance. There’s a slight powdery quality on the nose that I found appealing, an interesting counterpoint to the wine’s sweet fruit and darker mineral streaks. This offers fantastic quality for the price (€40 if I remember correctly) and should drink well for another 5 years. Rated 2 on a scale of -1 to 3.

Smakar nästan lite nypon. Bra Barolo men kanske aningens söt och kanske skulle den druckigts 2 år tidigare

This is remarkable - real Barolo character yet easy to drink only a year after release - this is not your grandfather's Barolo!

Beau Barolo, pas des plus complexe mais le prix est décent.
Florale et épicé au nez.
En bouche, assez souple et épicé, longueur moyenne.
