1/6, excellent cork. Decanted and immediately served. Pale/medium ruby/garnet core, wide pale rim. Lovely, floral nose - roses and violets - with underlying red cherry and damson fruit. Medium bodied, damson and red cherries again on initial entry, lovely purity here, elegant and fine boned, airy, with firm but fine tannins and fresh acids, good length finish. This is lovely and drinking for me, though no obvious need for hurry. Excellent.

Very good barolo, slightly softer tannins, plenty of red/strawberry fruits (tasted alongside gramolere which was slightly darker), good acidity with plenty of life to go!

Very closed upon opening; it needed at least an hour of air. Surprisingly tanninc with not too much tertiary notes given that it's 10 years old. 14.5% ABV. 89-90

This benefitted from a 5 hour decant. Beautiful rose and very light tar emerged and the wine was silky in the glass and enjoyable to drink.
Time, I think, will be a friend to this wine. It is pleasant in 2021, but definitely holding something back. In 5 years time I think this will be in a much more evolved state. Hold!

30 min decant. Very nice red fruit with roses and tar. Tannins are not too aggressive at this stage. Very good food wine, excellent overall.
