  Still hasn't opened up 4 hours later. Mine seemed to be in an odd spot today.

  Medium body. Delicious . Plenty of tannins left to make this wine even smoother

  My notes from 2019. I drank the second bottle Feb 2022 and I think it is now ready for business. Yummy stuff.
  
  It pours out as expected, reddish purple, see through and intriguing. On the nose I get strawberry, rhubarb and sour cherry juice. On the palate this wine is very young with copious tannins immediately attacking the gums- finally giving way to lush cherry, cinnamon, cedar box, leather and tobacco flavors. This wine is chock full of everything- flavors, dryness, acidity…. you name it. Very interesting mouthfeel to boot. It really needs a pour through the Vinturi, but I can’t help myself with these tannins, they are so intriguing and mouth puckering that I will have to sit here and suffer a little longer before I soften them up. The mid palate is all sour cherry, not in a bad way. The finish is much of the same… cherry, leather, mushrooms, acidity, mouth puckering tannins but it eases off nicely. This is going to be an awesome wine one day when it has grown up, shed the flab, softened the tannins and developed secondary flavors. For now I am going with 92 points and 4 stars. This Nebbiolo lists at $80 and should be cellared until 2024 then drunk till 2034.

  A good Barolo with the expected notes and taste. Certainly could have a few more years in the cellar. Would try again.

  Solid, featuring notes of sweet dried cherry, fresh cut flowers and leather up front, with emerging sanguine notes of blood/iron weaving in mid-palate. Dusty tannins/tar notes linger on the medium finish. Terrific value.
