In a bit of a weird spot, very evocative nose with all of the signature tar and rosewater, as well as some salami and forest floor. Palate still tight and tart, coarse tannins. Improved a bit on day 2, but still reticent. Feels like it's just starting to come out of its shell. Hold a few more years.

Tasted at the Matter of Taste Zurich 2022 Walkaround Tour, hence only brief notes: Deep and broad bouquet showing smoke, a bit of petrol, rose water and red cherry fruit. Refined and elegant with a fresh and fruity, surprisingly lightly structured palate.

A matter of taste - Day 1: *** Brief notes from wine fair, primarily for my own memory *** Glass: Stölzle Universal Seems to me reaching its peak. Beautiful structure, very mineral, good grip. Beautiful classic Nebbiolo nose. 92

Immediately upon opening, this was plummy, over ripe and tight, and not distinguishable as Barolo or even Nebbiolo broadly. With time, the stewed fruit retracted and a brooding dark wine with hints of anise, tar, and stern black cherry emerged. Body is tight , limited fruit and youthful chalky and very dry tannins. Long dry finish but not dimensional.
Would have no clue what this was blind…just tastes over ripe basically to me
