Dunkelrot im Glas. Wenig Schlieren. Wirkt noch jung. In der Nase große Komplexität und Tiefe. Am Gaumen mächtige Struktur, sehr komplex. Deutliche Tannine. Langer Abgang. Alles da, was ein Barolo bieten muss. Schöne Kirscharomen, die aber von den Tanninen sehr gezügelt werden. Eigentlich noch zu jung. Trinkfenster in CellarTracker m.E. viel zu kurz angegeben. In 10 Jahren wahrscheinlich deutlich besser.

This made me realize that I need to drink more Barolo in life, if I can get more into this expensive hobby that is. Such a unique wine - smelling like smoked brisket thrown into a garden of the most sweet-scented flowers. Richness of fruit and tannins hits the mouth at first, but mellows down to stylish elegance with a rather firm grip again on the aftertaste. You can't simply stop at one glass.

A great Barolo for sure. Good from first pour. Better after a couple of hours decant. Rich, quite ripe, a bit tight, darkish fruit not just the red, quite juicy, burgundy like richness, fresh acidity, a bit too much for me with the lamb, as just entering its drinking window and still kicking. Next bottle in 3-5 years. Will be sublime in 2026.

(Pio Cesare Ornato) Deep aromas of ripe red cherry, vanilla, and orange peel are followed by a concentrated, medium-full palate with lively acidity, ample oak, and youthful tannins. Excellent persistence and plenty of stuffing. Give this Barolo some time—best in 15-20 years, perhaps longer. Appellation: Serralunga d'Alba
