Saturated black cherry on the nose along with blackberry, black currant, dried sage, licorice, and black pepper. Medium bodied and a smooth-ish mouthfeel with modest acid and a modest amount of fine grained tannin. It's pleasant enough but watery and a bit thin in the mid palate. Flavors include a briar patch of berries, tar, licorice, dried sage, green bell pepper, and black pepper. It's all fine and dandy, but lacks personality and any amount of special pop. The longer this sits out, the more watery it gets. Don't age any longer.

Wonderful. Medium red color with some brown typical of Nebbiolo just starting to show its age. Well integrated tannins, and 15 year old Barolo should have some tannins. Dried red cherry, spice, and leather. Drink now to 2030.
