A pretty light ruby color, with a floral bouquet. Red cherries and rose petals, elegant and still fresh, with slightly firm finish. Still has time ahead of it. Very nice bottle.

My second bottle in as many months, this one confirmed my belief that now is the time to drink it. Not as austere as other traditionally made Barolo from 2006, this shows less secondary elements like rose petal, leather, and olive. The structure is starting to win out over the fruit, however, with the wine feeling a bit tired when I took the last sip four hours after decanting. To be sure, this is a good wine, just not up to Fenocchio's modern (2010 and later) level of quality.

Importer tasting (@ PA): Flowers in the bouquet. Red and black fruits e.g. plums. Firm tannin. Elegant style, but nevertheless this can last many years.

Somewhat dusty with a hint to cork/defect. Some fruit still there, but in the background of the flawed taste.
