  This was very highly rated when I bought it and it really delivered. Really, really good.

  Decanted for 2.5 hours, medium red hue like a Pinot, red cherries, powerful bold aromas, the palate is rich & very refined, caressing tannins envelope your mouth, v good young Barolo

  Remarkable depth of fruit for a young Barolo with super fine tannins. It was great to check in on this wine and it showed extraordinarily well, but it will of course only improve with time. For me the Bricco delle Viole was probably the single greatest value in the 16 vintage.

  Opened the night before & it needed it, big full bodied Barolo that was balanced, enjoyable & paired well with bone marrow

  Popped the cork about 5 hrs early for a little decant. Graphite prevalent but nice fruit. Thats about it. Nice, but I dont expect I will return to this wine.
