  PnP’d. Medium red color with slight browning on the edges. Massive burning wood on the nose. Wine is extremely tannic. Flavors of strawberry, cigar box, and subtle metallic elements. Medium minus finish that is biting.

  Ready to drink. Not as aromatic as other barolos

  12/24/2018 - Sheldog Does not like this wine:

  I didn’t really think it was flawed but no one liked it. Very phenol/chemical taste was present with no fruit presence whatsoever. Let it open for a few hours and it didn’t help at all. If others are liking it then maybe it was flawed. I received it as a gift so maybe it wasn’t stored properly early on. Not sure but it wasn’t enjoyable at all.
  
  Rather than rate it very low I’ll omit a rating as it could have been flawed.

  This was an ordinary wine, not much special

  Drinking beautifully. Cherries, violets, vanilla, leather and clove. Nice finish.
