  5/28/2023 - StefanAkiko Likes this wine:

  Served blinded after the tasting. (No score)
  Guessed Barolo/Barbaresco mid-segment ca 2008.
  Light red with some bricking.
  Discreet nose with youthful Nebbiolo umpa-umpa.
  Fills your mouth without being plump. Allows for its beautiful mineral aspects to shine through its open windows.
  BRAVO!

  Très joli vin.
  On sent un millésime mûr mais aucun excès qu'on aurait pu craindre sur 2003.
  A point et excellent.

  Agree with previous comment - feels older than it is. I love the very old vintages, but somehow not this one. Perhaps too warm year, which makes it less balanced.

  All Barolo. All soy, fungi and distant red fruit. A delight. Drink now.

  If this was ever good, it isn’t now, medicinal and imbalanced.
