  Cherry in the nose with brandy.
  
  Frank and virile on the palate that captures the mouth with a dense and woody juice. It is a structured wine that does not do things by halves, lining the palate with spices. The balance remains good even if the whole is warm, I still prefer a little more freshness. This is the total opposite of the Clos de la Roche Dujac drunk earlier. Alcoholic and spicy finish where the 14.5% stand out, breaking the overall balance a little.
  
  It's still a very good wine, but in a rustic and animal Barolo style that you have to love, from time to time why not on a winter evening.

  A Lovely nose. Cherry fruit with an almost sweet tart aspect at the start that quickly morphs into darker cherry fruit and balsam. Dense and structured, growing over time. Rich yet with great tension and lift. Drinking beautifully in youthful way.

  La miglior bottiglia mai capitata, naso con una bellissima viola e poi si apre su spezie con tocchi fruttati. Nessuna traccia di volatile ne' di sporcizia. La bocca è strutturata, succosa, ampia, piena, con tannino fitto e dolce. Talmenta ricca di massa che è quasi masticabile, anche se non è per niente pesante ma molto bevibile.
