  Leather, cedar, roses, dry earth, fennel seed. Mature and delicious.

  Double decanted for 4 hrs and was still unwinding for Thanksgiving dinner of a smoked turkey and roasted veggies. Had me worried. By dinner, tannins resolved to dark cherry notes that went well with everything. Still have 4 of the same vintage. Going to give the next even more decanting time.

  Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
  
  Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
  
  Showing black currants, black cherries, plums, earth, light wood, dark coffee and Indian spices.
  
  Grippy finish with raspberries and pomegranates.
  
  This Single Vineyard Barolo is not as good as the Riserva, but still very tasty. A good food wine.
  
  Not from a great vintage, but this 14 year old drinks very nicely now.
  
  Showing nice complexity, and feels young. Will be nice to revisit it in 5 years, and see how it evolves.
  
  Robert Parker 94 points. Wine Spectator 92 points.
  
  100% Nebbiolo grapes were fermented in stainless steel, and aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
  
  14% alcohol by volume.
  
  91 points.
  
  $115.
