  My third bottle of this vintage. Feels like it's starting to enter its tunnel, compared to the previous two bottles, needs a bit more time before balancing. Fine and dry tannins, the fruit is just right, cranberries, red cherries, tobacco, leather and roses. Wonderful minerality, and a long finish. Will last for many more years.

  Late night at home. Pop and pour. Drank in Conterno Sensory.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of furry pink peach skin, strawberry, red cherry, red pomegranate, dusty stones and earth, bit of floral rose. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, high alcohol (14.5%), fine but still good grip high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet red pomegranate, ripe red cherries, strawberry, dusty tarred road, lots of sour red cherries with air. Long grippy and structured finish.
  Very good quality. Excellent QPR! These young Barolo are drinking so well young nowadays.

  From half bottle. Not as funny as I expected it to be.
  You want to rent a classic 911 to have fun and get the keys for an electric driven one.
  A good bottle, very fine structure but lacking the character i was recently enjoying with Vietti (especially Casti 16 and Tre Vigne 20)
  Would wait.

  *** brief notes for my own memory from tasting sip. No rating ***
  Completely closed down, very dense, monster tannin, beautiful structure and complexity, needs time. Only concern is, that the tannin will dry out. We will see. 92+

  Did not give this bottle the attention it deserved.
  
  Typical perfume, quite pretty. Serious structure and depth, very well balanced. While stalwart, also quite reticent. It seemed to be locked down. Based on this experience, recommend holding bottles for three to five years, or longer.
