Fresh and juicy barolo expression, lots of cherry and classical notes of mushroom and leather. Very nice and drinking surprisingly well for its age. Very good QPR.

Very excellent Barolo value here. Cherry, pepper, heavy spices, dried red-fruits and leather, Figs or dates. Nice focus and acidity lifting it through the mid pallet. Great finish!

Appearance: clear pale garnet. Nose: medium intensity; aromas of sweet fennel, red cherry, raspberry, dried rose petal, red date, leather, black tea, subtle mushroom and tar. It's developing. Palate: dry, high acidity, high chewy tannins, high alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity. Red fruits and coffee come through. The finish is medium plus. Overall, it's a very good wine. Can drink now, has potential for further ageing. The wine is still a baby. It only starts to open up after 2.5 hrs decanting. It seems to be quite modern in style, with very subtle tar and earthy notes. The red fruits and lifted sweet spice characters integrated quite well and there's some minerality at the back of the nose. The perfumed floral notes of roses come through more after 3-4 hrs interwoven with delicious fennel notes. Tasted through from 11:30am to 9pm, not sign of fatigue at all. This wine has a lot of years ahead!

The nose was layered with mineral-infused cherry, dark spices, dried florals and crushed stone. On the palate, I found soft, vibrant textures offset by drying tannin and minerals, giving way to cherry and savory herbs in a very pretty expression. The finish was long and structured with saturating cherry and spice.

Davide Rosso tells me this was a year with perfect fruit and fenolic maturity giving superripe fine grained tannin. I can only agree as this almost feels like you could drink it anytime. Charming nose of rose petals and red fruit. Elegant and soft impression should invite you for an early drinking. Medium acidity confirms that impression. Just very very good. A buy! 92-94p

LU3. Balanced and nice fruit on palate but otherwise undistinguished.
