Balanced, light color, good flavor with lots of terroir, tannins are present but add to the taste, enough fruit to keep it enjoyable, evolved nicely as we drank it, drank with veal piccata, my birthday wine, would drink again but wine is hard to find as we brought this bottle home from the winery in Italy.

Pretty good dose of VA at 1st that never blew of entirely but evolved into more of a tomato paste note. Had some cherries, loam, spices, leather and rose but the tomato paste was the dominate note although not overhelming.

Round, voluptious, open, elegant, fruity, powerful, serious, balanced, enjoyable, delicious and young. Not much more to say actually. On the downside it is nothing special. It's just another nice barolo.
Rebuy; perhaps. It's a good wine to open when you don't want to open another precious gem from the cellar at the end of the evening. Open this one instead!

In a good spot right now. Still nicely perfumed and with some grip that mellowed with air. Reasonable length and nicely structured.

Wonderful! But I was drunk when I drank it... Still wonderful though! But will not rate it because of intoxication. Estimate 90p.
