  2010 Barolos at Terra Rossa with NLWTS (Terra Rossa, Upper Street): Ruby. Pretty fruit forward. On the stewed fruit spectrum? Sweet, pretty generous nose, but quite hot on the palate. Bit disappointing for me; bit bruising. Benefit of the doubt - NYR? 90

  2010 Barolo (Terra Rossa, N1): Quite tight at the moment, lots of vanilla, slightly woody and dry. More of a bruiser than the lithe, aromatic style which tends to appeal to me. Pulpy fruit on the palate feels outweighed by the fiery tannins and high acidity. I'd question whether those elements are going to resolve and find balance before the fruit wears off but in any case, it's one to sit on for a while.

  Litt plomme, men det er mest krydder på duft - fint integrerte fataromaer. Noe gjøre også. I munnen er tanninene definitivt merkbare - de begynner å bli nedslepne og rundere, men tydelig bitterhet i ettersmaken. God å drikke nå, også aleine, men trenger noen år til for å bli helt harmonisk.

  Drank from decanter over 2 hours. Hard to tell where this is because it developed significantly in a short time. Started out very shy but very accessible after an hour. Expansive nose but felt a bit shallow on palate — lofty promise of 2010 not reached but really enjoyable bottle. Would not bet on long term future.

  Quite a deep colour; rich, ripe fruit, elegant, well balanced and quite long. This seems just about ready but will keep well. A fine example.
