Medium dark gold color. Aromatics of orange peel, sugar, peach and hints of apple on the nose, almost suggestive of a sweet wine though it's completely dry. Smooth, slightly oily mouthfeel, medium high acidity and tons of mineralogy on the finish. Nice stuff.

American oak is very noticeable on the nose, particularly after it has a chance to open up in the glass. Notes of coconut, caramel, citrus, florals, and scotch with a subtle savory undertone. Light to medium body. High acidity and a medium long finish. Most polarizing wine in the tasting line up.

Served blind. Translucent medium intensity ruby color. Red fruit on the nose with a curious note of tomato and just a hint of vinegar. Up front red fruit on the palate with a touch of sweetness. Medium body with serious structure. High levels of drying tannin and high acidity.

Oak and sweet cherry syrup on the nose. Similar notes on the palate. Full-bodied with low tannin and acid.

Medium intensity garnet color. Red fruit, tar, forest floor and hints of spice on the nose. Similar on the palate with floral notes and sour cherry. High acidity and tannin. Long finish. Very nice classic Barolo. I saved some in my glass to revisit and it just got better with some air.

Dark fruit, blueberry, vanilla and oak notes on the nose. Ripe, round fruit on the palate. Full-bodied with medium acid, medium high tannin, and a long finish.

Dark colorin the glass. Ripe and lush aromatics of black cherry, eucalyptus, charcoal and toasted oak. Similar notes on the palate. Round and full-bodied with medium high tannin and acid. Long finish. I saved some in a glass and revisited towards the end of the evening and noticed that the mouthfeel smoothed out after some time in the glass.

Tight at first but it does open up very nicely in the glass. Medium dark color. Red cherry, leather and savory soy sauce on the nose. Similar notes on the palate with high tannin and acid. Nice stuff. I had it along with three other wines in front of me and I kept going back to it.

Impenetrabley dark color. Candied cherry cough syrup on the nose, coated in vanilla. Same on the palate with low tannin and acid. Short finished with a sort of underlying bitterness that I sometimes notice on wines made from overripe fruit. A bit of a mess.
