Young and tannic but still approachable. Loads of earth and mushrooms on the nose. Tannins hit you right away but a nice touch of semi-sweet chocolate and berry fruit match the earthy flavors. All barolo, no hiding it here.

A little past it's prime. Fading fruit (cassis, dark berry) tries to hang in there against earthy, musty cedar, leather, and grilled meat. Nice finish still though. Very well integrated and smooth tannins.

Beautiful wine. Cigar box, leather, and mulling spices on the nose. Full, lush mouth feel with nuanced fruit, some red berry, layered in with the prominent but not jammy dark fruit. A long, consistent finish with some minerally notes. Deep dark color.
