Very enjoyable wine although I fully knew I opened this way too early. I decanted for 2-3 hours, and a lot of the promise of what this wine can be is already there. Great aromas of cherries, sweet cedar, and spices on the nose. Hints of berries, vanilla, and black cherries on the palate, with a nice long finish. Will only get better with time. Enjoyed with homemade veal parmigiana over linguine.

This wine is still too young and tight, but a long decant reveals some of its charms, such as cherries, spice and violets on its palate; The tannins are fairly prominent on the finish, leaving a drying sensation in the mouth; For under $25, this is great value for Barolo and cheap enough that you don't feel guilty for popping one so early
