  A Barolo on the lighter side of life. Drinking very nicely now, superbly fresh. The cherries keep lingering.

  Nice and drinkable Barolo. Soft with the La Morra touch.

  60 minutes Audoze, cork and fill in vg. cond. Medium garnet, faded to an orange/tawny rim, so pretty. On the nose, aromas: lemon, earl grey tea, abondoned water well, root cellar, strawberry, old leather, cedar, and all forms of dirt. The palate is medium-bodied, yet to evolve, but fully approachable. Structure is good, not great, which is no detriment here, this is just going to drink early. Excellent acidity, nearly resolved tannins, red-fruited, with medium flavor development, and a touch of roses. By the second hour, this is a classy, well-composed Barolo wine that's just beginning its ascension; oak still in control of flavors, this needs some time yet to be complete, in the zone. Drink now or hold thru 2029, before it begins its downward climb. 14,5% abv., crazy good price on these, and easily recommended+

  Open 24 hours. Clearly a modern style, as it is attractive and drinkable with only a one day airing. Light-medium ruby. Pretty red fruits in the nose. Savory in the mouth, fairly rich, good fruit, soft and flavoury. Very voluptuous. Ready to go. Racy. 4-12-16-8: 90/100.

  Pale ruby. The nose displays pronounced intensity aromas of plum ham, ripe dark cherries, liquorice, dates, cedar and hints of flowers.
  
  It is dry in the mouth with a medium acidity. It has medium+ fine-grained tannins and a high warm alcohol. It is full-bodied with pronounced intensity flavours. The finish is long.
  
  It is a good quality wine. Whilst the finish is very persistent and the generous fruit concentration helps to balance the alcohol, it definitely lacks freshness in the mouth, due to a moderate acidity, and in the nose, where the aromas are rather overripe.
