  Nose: There is a woodsy note that strikes right away along with mint, dark red cherries, wood spices, anise seed, mocha, and dark red fruits.
  
  Taste: Medium/full bodied with medium/high and wood tannins. The feel is slightly coarse with the oak hiding slightly underneath the surface along with dark red cherries, mint, anise seed, and some mocha notes.
  
  Overall: The wood doesn't dominate, but it is there. The oak also somewhat drives the notes on the wine and it doesn't feel to be too expressive. This is a good wine, but it just wasn't hitting me in the right places.

  consistent tn's. Pulled the cork at 8am, aerated to decanter at 6pm, an hour before serving. Even better than the last bottle, this generously offers up rich layers of cherries, roses, spice and resin notes. Really got singing by the third glass. With this kind of structure, this is built to age, but sadly, this is my last bottle. A guilty pleasure. recommended, drink thru 2025

  Bringing 3 so-so domestic bottles to a party tonight, along with one Meh-type Burgundy, which leaves me with nothing to drink - so I HAD to pop this. Fresh like a barrel sample, roses, cherry, marl - just perfect, and with a long life ahead of it. I will double-decant it now so that it will be just right when the party starts in 7 hours. Score: A-

  Translucent brick core with bright red rim. Complex nose with spice, liquorice and leather in the front giving way to dark cherries, chocolate and mocha indicating a great wine. A fresh attack with some sweet mouth-filling acidity (sic!) followed by a very complex mid-palate of chocolate, dark red fruits, beautiful integrated silky smooth tannins. Layered, complex yet balanced, to me simply a great Barolo new style.
  With grilled rib-eye and rustic truffle sauce.
