  Warm and tannic. Good fruit and balance but lacks finesse. Warm vintage

  Rich and sumptuous, showing the vintage. But still so good, balanced and pretty. Dark cherries and a savory edge of minerality. This is in a very good place, not sure if there is a ton of benefit to age this much longer.

  Drank great. Rich and complex with a long mid palate. Big cherry and very pure on the palate. Quality juice.

  Piemonte WIMPS (La Trompette, Chiswick, London): Colour is correct, nose shows red fruits with a touch of menthol. Medium bodied with fine slightly grainy tannins yet there's piercing acidity that somewhat overwhelms the otherwise delicious red fruits which are on the whole covering up the lick of oak which unfortunately morphs into coconut. Still, overall the wine seemed pretty good even if not quite my style.

  Elio Grasso delivers: this Barolo is in a great spot, strawberry, chewy tannins, leather note, plum, tobacco leaf, black currant, medium body, powerful long finish.
