Decanted after PnP. The wine shows a vibrant garnet colour, surprisingly youthful for its age. On the nose, sweet, ripe red fruit aromas dominate, with cherries and raspberries. The wine is full-bodied with a sweet fruit character. Tannins are chalky and the acidity balances the sweet fruit. The finish is long. Pleasurable but I would have liked to have seen more complexity. The decanting helped open up the wine, and it might benefit from further aging to allow for more complexity to develop.

Very good Value for this well produced Barolo. Traditional charecter an a fine exponent of the Cannubi soil. Blackberry fruits, cigarbox, dark chocolate, toast, and hints of rosemary. Can be keept for another decade under the right condotions.

Min sista flaska har legat i två och ett halvt år sedan den förra. Avstår från betyg och notes eftersom jag anar en liten defekt. Drickbar, men lite 'funky' bortom normalt åldrande. Trist.

The scent is to the bright side with, bright cherries, a little bright raspberries, a little bicycle tube, camphor, light bright tones of, tobacco, licorice, perfumed by red pretty fresh flowers.
The taste is dry and follows the aroma well in a fairly simple way. Young fresh bright, slightly dusty cherries, raspberries, young fresh licorice.
The acid is fresh and cleans well.
Tannins, bitter green olives, some green herbs / stalks, green tea.
Extra info. A little simple in expression, especially in taste. Note on the 2nd day. Glass Zalto Burgundy.
