If this wine is a hint of what is to come for the vintage, then I am very excited. All of the classic traits of Barolo, but without the harsh tannins. The structure and flavor profile is there, but it just needs time to develop. I suspect that my score will a few points higher down the road. The QPR makes it worth considering for a sizable purchase.

Nice depth of fruit, but a bit of effervescence and a sting of acidity on the finish. This needs time to resolve, or maybe the structure just isn't there.
