  Super elegant with rose, licorice, leather, tar and red berries. Quite funky from the get-go, but the funk goes away with air. Surprisingly accessible with forgiving tannins, and given how good it was today we personally would drink within five years. With that said, this wine most likely will age beautifully for another +15 years, too (if that is your preference).

  Tasted at the cantina.
  
  Another legendary Barolo in the making hitting all the right notes. Like most of the other 2019s I had so far there is a lot of structure here with a rather vertical bouquet. It convinces with red fruit, sour cherries and a touch of wild strawberries, violets as well as a whiff of blood orange I enjoy so much and often get in Maria Theresa's Barolos.
  This delicate wine has so much inner strength and ultra refined tannins, it will be exciting to see how it will develop with appropriate bottle age (give it at least 5-10 years) but its always important to try those wines in there youth.

  Hard for me to judge this wine at this stage other than to say the potential is great! This reminded me of my recent trip to Barolo -- the smell and flavor profile reminded me of tasting at the winery. Basically drinking like a barrel sample still, but this is beautiful wine for sure, I just think this needs a few years to come together.

  With Maria Teresa and Emmanuel
  
  Roses, tar, balsam, licorice, and cooler nebbiolo fruit. A multilayered nose that draws you in. On the palate, it's deep, structured yet really well balanced. Still firm. Finishes with ripe tannins. Complex. Very long. This is one of the wines I suspect is going to really be something special at maturity. 96++
