Clean. Medium(+) intensity with aroma of tar cardamom liquorice violet cherry and cinnamon.
Dry. Medium alcohol. Medium(+) tannins. Medium(+) acidity. Medium body. Medium(+) intensity with flavours of cherry cardamom liquorice and strawberry.
Medium(+) finish. Very good. Suitable for further ageing. Suitable and intense at the same time. Classic over delivers for the price especially when on sale and compared to a Langhe Nebbiolo.

From a 375ml bottle. Decanted for 2 hours. On the nose subtle sous-bois and red fruit. Medium bodied, smooth and supple, showing subtle red fruit with a hint of tar and firm grippy tannins. A good basic barolo but felt a bit subpar compared to other producers.

Gaumen: Trocken, hohe Säure, festes, raues Tannin, hoher Alkohol 14%, mittlerer Körper mit ausgeprägten Aromen von Himbeeren, mittlerer Abgang.
(BLIK 0.5+0.5+0.5=0.25=1.75) Gute Qualität. Säure und Tannin balancieren sich gut, Aromatik und Intensität fallen dagegen jedoch klar. Eher einfaches Aroma-Spektrum mit kurzem Abgang. Zu jung, hat 3-5 Jahre Reifepotential mit weiteren 2-3 Jahren Lagerpotential. Säure und Tannin weisen auf Reifepotential hin. Die Aromatik wird sich aber wohl kaum dramatisch verbessern. Immerhin werden die Tannine etwas sanfter werden.

Gourmetklubbens femtiosjunde middag hemma hos P+H: Tema Italienskt (P+H, Södermalm): (Decanted for one and a half hour) Youthful and fruitful with hip roses, licorice and some fresh herbs in a pleasant way, still showing a tight palate with very aggressive tannins that need time to settle and with a balanced body with lots of primary fruit. This should reward more years to open up in the cellar. (Best 2029-2039)

Bright pomegranate red color (leans towards orange).
Aromas of strawberries, orange, licorice, leather and dried fruit.
Taste is a little austere (grip from tannins), with marked acidity. In taste, there is a clearer attack in terms of the spicy aromas. The wine shows more appearent dried fruits and development in its taste.

Ok Barolo for the price , if you are on a budget. But better to spend 10€ plus. Its an ok Barolo not more for me.. but maybe in 5-10 years this could be better.

Great intro to the Barolo DOCG. Couldn’t ask for more at that price point, or at least for a product so commonly available. If you can, lay it down a few more years to unlock its potential!

Inte riktigt våran smak! Fruktigt och bärigt, lite tunn, mer syra och strävhet.

Terroir, typicity and wine making places it in Serralunga d’Alba. Factor in price and market share and you arrive at Fontanafredda. Good qpr.
