Community Tasting Note

August 6, 2017 - Cherry and cigar ash in the nose. Definitely denser and richer than most barolos. I don't like rating on potential because some wines are dumb and some wines are just ok. The palate is more cherry and a bit metallic. I found this underwhelming considering the price and producer. It may be a ways from peak but it should be more indicative of where it is going.

For me, the 2008's are going to need another 6-8 years sideways to start coming out of their shell...do you usually drink them this young? I've found that (for my taste) there's about 1-2 years from release then I need a whole lot of patience if I'm going to enjoy a Barolo or Barbaresco. Thanks for the notes! Great to see someone else from Maine here in CT
