This is really drinking well right now. It probably could have benefited from a short decant as it opened up over the course of a couple hours. Very well balanced with soft but well defined tannin. Notes of licorice, black tea, and red cherries.

Ottimo Barolo ad un punto di maturità perfetto. Oggi è un vino di grande fruibilità e già di notevole complessità aromatica. Naso sfaccettato, elegante e balsamico, pieno di fascino, fresco ed invitante: con notevoli sentori di genziana, di cardamomo, mentolo, rabarbaro, fiori appassiti, tabacco, terra umida e tartufo. In bocca è teso, pieno, intenso, con tannini tosti ma già ben "levigati", boccata viva e giovane, bella acidità sgrassante; si protrae a lungo sul palato, si dilunga in modo davvero persistente. Gran bel vino.

Dark ruby. Nose of roses, menthol, cherry. A slight whiff of oxidation. Medium palate of black cherry, rhubarb, minerals, and anise. Finish is a touch disappointing. OK acidity. Youthful tannins. Not quite up to my expectations.

Via: The Big Red Tour (Boston, MA): Great fruit. Really intense, deep wine. Massive tannins, but it's already very tasty stuff. Wouldn't mind having a couple of these. 91-94

All the parts have aligned - tremendous balance, never heavy. Beautiful wine.
