  Neighbourhood drinks at home. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru and Conterno Sensory.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of fresh earth, minerals, sour red cherries, strawberries, red plum, roses with more air. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14%), lovely friendly medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sour red cherries, strawberries, strong red plums, fresh earth, salty minerality, rosewater with more air. Spice and savouriness more in the Conterno Sensory which brings everything to life and up a notch. Long juicy finish.
  Very good quality. A Pinot-like Barolo this is. Another 2018 that reaffirms my love for this vintage.

  La Festa del Barolo (Los Angeles) Grand Tasting (Marino Restaurant, Los Angeles): All tobacco and tar upfront, but then some nice sweet fruit at the end.

  Wines You Dream Of (Miller Gallery, Cincinnati, Ohio): Extremely tannic, the leather, rawhide, and rosewater hallmarks coming through. Drink in 2030.
