Served by the in-laws at Easter dinner, this was surprisingly drinkable for such a young wine. I usually expect chewy tannins with a young Barolo, but not so with this wine. And also surprisingly, it paired really well with Turkey + ham + trimmings. Barolo wouldn't have been my first choice pairing, but it worked! It's medium-bodied and floral on the nose, with cherries, plum and spice on the palate. Aged in botte, so the oak signature is quite light. This is just a delicious bottle of wine with many years ahead of it. 93+

Raspberry, fig, a hint of tar, wet leaves and an incredibly lifted perfume: hints of expensive cologne with great complexity. Open-knit and inviting. Sweetly fruited on the palate, medium bodied and light on its feet. The tannins are ripe and super-fine.

Red currant, pomegranate, fresh persimmon, perfumed rose water, softer, juicier, pure fruit with very balanced mouth feel. Really enjoyable now.
