  Mature. Lots of integrated wood notes, dried red and black fruit and a bit of herbs. Fine tannins on the medium finish. Classic Barolo aromas and mouthfeel but on ripe rustic and oaked side of the spectrum.

  Last bottle. PnP. Big nose of resiny, sappy red fruits with some sawdust initially. After some air the wood blows off. Tastes like it smells. Nice long finish. Pretty darn good.

  Heat of the vintage comes through on this wine - a bit over-ripe, oak notes not yet integrated. Dense fruit - a good thing - but a little unbalanced.

  Drinking well. No noticeable oak in this bottle. Quite enjoyable.

  Mature and expressive. Lots of integrated wood notes, dried red fruit and a bit of herbs. Still some tannins on the finish.Traditional acidity and mouthfeel. Good but not great Barolo at a solid value at current prices. Should hold at least 3-5 yrs.
