Moderate color with initial vegetative and minty notes, moves into sour cherry and earth tones. Balanced acid and tannin, sweet finish with an echo of the initial green notes. Not bad and would work with a meal right now but risky for my cellar over time.

Retail $24. Big. Ass. Bottle. I was shocked, shocked to see a wine from this legendary Barolo producer on the shelves of my local H-E-B (I love my H-E-B). Close to translucent, but darker in the glass than I would expect from the variety/region. Dark fruit, laced with herbs (sage), spice (clove, black pepper), and earth (dark) on the nose, with plenty of fruit, a zingy tartness. While the name on the bottle might be enough for most aficionados, what is actually *in* the bottle is pretty darned close to exceptional. I guess great wineries become such for a reason.

Clear red color. Very pleasant to the palate with a loooong taste.
