  Enjoyed a bottle of this at Trattoria della Poste in Piedmont. My first Bovio and I was impressed. Did not require decanting for air (although there is sediment) and opened up well with only 20mins in the glass. Great depth of fruit and balancing acidity. Plenty of oak, but it has integrated and provides a nice rich mouthfeel. This is not one to hold on for long - drinking at peak now and for the next 5yrs. A modern - but not too modern - Barolo that is accessible and works well at restaurants. Recommended.

  2 t luft i glass. Moden duft av overmodne jordbær, plommesyltetøy, bålrøyk, lær/sadel og våt skogbunn. Smak av rosiner, coctailbær, kirsebærgrøt, løs General, rå steinsopp, litt syltet appelsinskall, salvie og anis. Modne og avslappede tanniner, medium minus syrlighet. Lang smak.

  Wow, this Barolo is gorgeous and was quite surprising as Bovio is not a name I've encoutered much in the past. Lots of rich red fruits along with wonderful notes of licorice and forest floor. Very sleek texture and quite refined with good balancing acidity. This is polished but also authentic with a wonderful complexity on the finish. Very ready now but should last and simply great with white truffles at dell'anima, NYC. A graceful, pure wine that is hard to stop drinking.

  Exelent. I've tasted it 4 times through 2012 and 2013. Very classic uncomplicated Annunziata-type Barolo. Very Nice stuff. Doesn't give you 20 kinds of flavours - rather one very well difined flavour. Very dry and allmost rounded tannins.
  
  I also tasted it 3 years ago - it wasn't readdy then, but it sure is now. Not really my type of Barolo, and therefore only 92rp.

  Restaurant in Rome. Dark red color and a wonderfull nose (Suggests more than it gives) Fresh fruit, cherries, tobacco and acetone. Medium aftertaste. Decanted and it still evolved over the meal. More to give.
