No formal notes, paired with white truffle pasta. Really nice, not the most complex, but well made. Didn't give me the ethereal 3d barolo experience you get from the top examples. But really good nonetheless, super young, drink in 3 years. Decant for a few hours at least if you open now.

Med deep ruby/brick. Nose > Red, tart & black cherry, strawberry & dried strawberry, anise, potpourri, cooking spice, camphor, nutmeg & slight touch of cinnamon. Hint of cherry/raspberry cola. Palate > Big & tight, with tons of sappy red & wild berry fruit, strawberry, sumac, choke cherry, cherry bark & similar spice amalgam as on nose. The fruit overlays the spice in the mouth. Big, grippy, slightly/med drying tannins. The balance of this wine is weighted to tannin & acidity, with fruit bringing up the rear. Med+ acidity. Med/med+ intensity. Long-ish finish that carries tight, wild & hint of slightly underripe fruit & cherry bark along with the + acidity & grippy tannins.

Fruit forward Barolo coming of its own. Nice earthy tones and full nose.

Nothing wrong with this -- just very tight right now and needs time. Try again in a couple of years.

Rich red nose with pencil shavings and long lingering finish. Should age well as tannins still young.
