Medium ruby with extensive bricking Medium plus aromas of red fruit / rose/ strawberry and touch of cinnamon with mild VA Medium plus palate of red fruit/ plum with wet earth High tannins - fine grained and felt on teeth and gums Medium plus acidity with great length and medium plus alcohol This wine markedly improved next day in a corked bottle - tannins more integrated and fruit character more dominant Would recommend holding 3-5 yrs but enjoyable now

Pale ruby with extensive bricking. Medium aromas of cherry with underlying floral/violets - moderate VA noted. Medium (+) palate of cherry/ black cherry and tar with high tannins though fairly well integrated at this point. I find this quite enjoyable though somewhat one dimensional for a Barolo. May benefit from more bottle age, will open again in 3-4 yrs.

Pleasant and well-balanced after a 4-hour decant and rebottling. If you have this one, drink it now, as I doubt much will be gained by further aging.
