Super candied. Full, with some heat. Tangy mouthfeel. Somewhat grainy tannins. Enjoyable.

From 1.5L. Potpourri. Pitchy dark fruits. Really firm palate with hard tannins and great acidic frame. Super young, but really great elements.

Very ripe, with some raisin notes. Seems like Cabernet next to the more characteristic Barolo. Fine tannins. Nice, but the context here really pointed out the stylistic differences, and not to this wine's benefit.

Somewhat lactic feel. Pretty red fruits and rose notes. Full and bold tannins. Very young, but still expressive. Nice.

Dark, full, and bold. Red fruits. Firm, young medium-grain tannins. Very nice..

Heady. Uplifting VA. Well resolved with pure, clean red fruits. Full. Really nice.

Bold, masculine styling. Firm tannins. Animal fur. Heady. Very nice.

Meaty, flashy wine. Dark fruits. Somewhat blowsy. Bold. Enjoyable.

Some VA. Forward, dark, and bold styling, without being flashy or overt. Firm. Classical for the vintage.

Meat and leather notes. Animal fuir. Great mouthfeel. Red fruits. Round. Really promising.

Heady. Very full and somewhat candied, but good balance between elements. Nice.

Some lactic and lanolin notes on the nose. Tight, firm tannins. Medium bodied. Shows good restraint. Very nice.

Nice red/black interplay. Fine tannins. Heady. Full bodied. Delicious.
