Developed nebbiolo aromas of flowers, some tar and cherries. Opulent and rich in the mouth, but lacks structure, which I guess is mostly due to the vintage. Nice acidity. The wine has not developed much since last tasting 3-4 years ago.

Nice, developed nebbiolo aromas of flowers, tar and cherries. Opulent and rich in the mouth, but lacks structure, which I expect more of from a Barolo. I guess the vintage play a role here.

The first word that comes to mind for me with this wine is "big". The nose is very intense with some fruit, mint and smoke. Decanted for about 1 hour while cooking and had with a pork bolognese. Taste is rustic and earthy but with ripe red fruits as well. Long finish. Great wine and at a price that is affordable for a Barolo. Seems more accessible than others and while based on what I've read I'm sure it would age well, it's drinking quite well now.

Somewhat underwhelming. At first Pretty thin even after 2 hours decant. Not What i expect from this producer or region. Structure isn't there.
