Nez intense, sur le goudron et des notes boisées. Bouche puissante aux tanins gras, bien intégrés. Bon équilibre, de la finesse, une bonne persistance, mais cela manque de complexité aromatique et de personnalité pour être grand. L'impression que l'élevage en barrique a masqué des arômes plus subtils de fleurs notamment qu'on s'attend à trouver dans un grand barolo. Prêt à boire.

Vindredi (Bellevue, WA): Tasted blind. Sweet, red, juicy fruit -- this is one ripe wine. That great fruit carries through to the body, as well, but the richness is balanced out by lots of acid and medium tannin. Really nice.

Tasted blind. One of the favorites of the group and of the night. Subtle nose, with sharp fruit up front and a complex finish. Very smooth throughout. My rank: 1/4 Group rank: 1/4

Nice complex wine with a lot of nice fruit. Especially cherry. Fresh and lovely now but needs time to develop more attributes.
