JG’s mainly Barolo 2018s (Terra Rossa, London N1): Very pure red fruits it's light delicate and fresh. Really good wine making but felt as if it was stubbornly refusing to show off and came across as a bit less exciting than I would have hoped following fond memories of trying this at Nebbiolo Day in 2022.

Needs at least an hour for the perfume to come out. Tasted over two days. Pretty classic aromas of red cherry, plums, tar, earth, herbs, flowers, a hint of new leather, and spices. Tart cherry, red cherry, earth, spice, herbs, some meatiness, and a hint of graphite on the palate. So pretty and elegant, but also there's enough stuffing to keep it interesting. Good acidity, coating, grippy but accessible tannins, medium finish. The balance is terrific. For some reason, this is way too easy to drink. Will buy more.

Drank too young. Decant for six hours or wait a few years. Seamlessly elegant despite the lack of evolution.

Seemed flawed - no taste - perhaps a bad bottle?
