This dazzling red opens with enticing scents of rose petal, blue flower, wild berry and a whiff of camphor. Elegantly structured, the polished, full-bodied palate delivers succulent Morello cherry and raspberry compote, while licorice, tobacco and vanilla accents add depth. It's impeccably balanced, with fresh acidity. Without a doubt, this is one of the best 2014 Barolos out there. Drink 2022-2034.

Restaurant purchase; decant and start, from burgundy styled stems. Red fruit, leather and fine wood shavings on the nose; tannins were soft but prominent upon opening, 45 mins later they've softened and are well-balanced against the mature, ripe and lighter fruit.

Wonderful! Bought off list at volterra in Kirkland. A deep core, robust nose and fully fused fruit and earth. Certainly a structured wine that can rest; give it a decent decant if you wish to try now.

Initialement: rose et cerise rouge, un peu aigrelette. Les tanins sont un peu secs et rugueux. Bien meilleur le lendemain dans le fond de la bouteille, gagne en complexité avec des saveurs d'asphalte mouillée et cerise noire. À boire >2024.
