Very good Barolo. A bit young, tannins clenching and preventing the flavour and finish from really strutting. Unsure if this bottle has the fruit and pedigree to allow the ample austere tannins the extra decade or so they might need to soften.

With legs of lamb for Easter. Still mostly youthful. Purple tones in the slightly cloudy colour. Absolutely lovely, great acidity, heaps of flavour with bare touches of tertiary. One that really makes me wish I had a few more packed away.
