  Medium deep brick red.
  Aromas of cherry jam, plum tarte, sandalwood, wet tarmac and violet.
  Medium body.
  Finely grained lively tannins. Blackcurrant acids and walnut bitterness.
  Palate of cherry, blackcurrant, truffle, nutmeg and baked earth.
  A mature, rustic and utterly well-balanced wine with delicate dark fruit, beautiful grippy acids and a moderately long mineral finish. Drink within 5-7 years.
  Tasted alongside Scavino, Bric del fiasco 1998 and the matched wine was generous, complex and modern in comparison.

  Enjoyed with G and X. Rainy day and solo stove. Drinking beautifully right now. Drink or hold, but in a great place right now.

  This was such a delicious, mature Barolo more on the black fruit spectrum with authentic flavors of tar, licorice, bitter chocolate and a lovely floral lift. Not crunchy and complex but rather layered and savory with an enveloping finish and just the right amount of acidity underneath. Certainly a plug for how good a blended, high-production Barolo can be with age. Off the list at Lucciola.
