  This is a solid Barolo. Gave it 3 hours of air in the decanter before drinking, and it still probably could have used more. It had a beautiful floral, pebble, red fruit nose that seemed restrained and wanting to come alive more. The tannins were still alive and well as expected, and the palate was light, tart cherry, and delicate, with a good tertiary backbone. I think it has plenty of life left and could benefit from a few more years of cellaring.

  First encounter with this wine, wasn’t sure what to expect given the previous CT reviews. I found this to be soft on the palate with tart red fruit flavors.

  Tasting @Marchesi di Barolo no 3: Single vineyard Barolo aged partly on French barriques, lovely fresh and complex bouquet. Earthy soil, leather, nice elegant amount of tannins. Good stuff!

  Clear light red. Nice bright nose of red fruit, tar and earth. Delicious textured earthy cherry and tar flavours and a long dry tannic finish. A minute later It's still there.
  
  Best Marchesi wine I've had.
