A great concentrations even likely some of cult wine like Chris ringland,with raisan note and coconuts on the primary and oaky,but palate is strong enough to support ,can drink and this performance is reli overpriced,is more likely a Aus or a cult wine,but still appreciate.

Brought by friend,it's appearing more muscular,a reli compared with my bottle of vigna elena,but black,with slight note of fruit can be seen,is more blinded and seems quite much of stuff behind,another days when I drunk the last bit,it appeared,a fresh cut of fruit with its own purity note,excellent but it reli need some patients to wait.

A refill of note based on my own tasting note,from begin is more like nothing ,after a day of bottle breath is appearing more note of tabacco and some fresh cut fruit,with a fine and much tannin but still have slightly of angles it still need more time to decant,but it's an expression of what is a excellent bottle of a barolo,cavallotto can say the worth is over its price and very stable ,advice to buy 2012-2027

A new experience for me,it not like the major blanc grapes will bring you,with a Chardonnay like of the French oak,creamy and buttery,and some of Riesling character like the honey,but palate is slightly watery,maybe is not serving well this time,if is its reli required a long time serving(more than 4-5hour )

In fact not like other Barolo I drunk before,from its pop and pour its reli appearing a great performance,purity and a elegant note of palate is appeared,even when that time I wanna to change my bottle,just want to drink it all by myself,although my mistake of estimate of serving,but at that day it still performing well,on a Burgundian note of aromatic with a fine and much of tannin,still can say is a excellent experience,and it can say is the second bottle that reli shock me,so 94 can wait for 5+ yrs or kill it now

Just refill back based on the noted tasting note.a purity of fruit with leather and floral note,typical Nebbiolo with dark sweet spices,but aromatic is quite inconsistent,sometime is appearing nothing,slight tannic,advice put back to cellar wait for a decade,will be a excellent bottle future...

In fact for first round is not reli like a Shiraz,we serve it as blind,but can confirm as the new world,with not much French oak,it's gonna like very red fruit,although is a good intensive and a jammy note,tannin with a not bad palate.

2nd round:tannin gonna be fine and not much.

In fact is quite surprise that it gonna be so wonderful performance,for first half hour at decanter it reli like a Merlot based supertuscany,with blueberry,almond,very lovely,but palate is a bit tight,

2nd round,(half more hour)nose gonna be like a matured Aus,that with caramel and dried leaf,tannin quite much but in fact is quite fine,mid acid,although is 16alc but the body are enough to cover the alc,so is a good experience,a reli grand vin.

3rd round
With the chocolate and raisins favour,I think is very simallar to the passito,or amarone style of sweetness,and in fact is not much oak to be used,not the type of oaky water,What a lovely.

Not much of the character of Nebbiolo but,is quite deep with the east Europe oak,not much character of Nebbiolo(Violet and dark spice)but like another type of flower,more like Chamomile,and sweetness,palate is quite soft thought an hour decant,personal think is not bad
Red
Dark fruit with the gamey note,quite lovely,but nose is not very appearing,better at palate,good harmonious in palate and the acidity,finish mid-,advice bottle breath for 2 hours

Pnp:Dark chocolate,blue berry,hints of French oak,and some of Preserved Ume,very lovely on nose
Palate,not concentrate as thinking now,need more breath
Leather,coffee bean,more acidity reflected(2hours breath)

2nd round:
Tobacco,The layers are very lovely can say the totally fusion on tabacco and fruit

It can say if serving,it at least 4-5hours breath demanded.

A weak vintage,but it reflected a fully matured Bordeaux,though it is quite fast to down peak,but it's still be a lovely one.
Hints of tobacco, with quite smooth of tannin,not much tannin,almost melted,can say it gonna be the ending parts of the wine within 2 hours.

Drink now(if good condition)

Hints of oak,red cherry,quite sour but is matured on nose,but it wonder is it like a hot vintage?
10minute:
Sour cherry,matured almost syrup like,quite much of alcohol,with hints of Chinese medicine,what a sweet on the palate,can say jammy,quite powerful as thinking,but elegant,pale but the acidity well support on the body,medium+ finish,not much mineral and tannin,it is not advise to make further maturing.easy drinking.

Fleur
Eng ver:
Pnp
Hints of strawberry,earl grey tea it is more like a Bourgogne then a Nebbiolo now(quite tight of the body,but tannin is fine and much)
2nd day
What a refreshing and purity,before decant it is appearing hints of strawberry,very sour and not matured.after double decanting the component appearing hints of sandal and a petit rose,like resberry juice with a good acidity and quite fine tannin.
89/100
3rd days
The aroma complex then those two day before,it is like a resberry juice,on the nose it is reflecting hints of violet and Rose like with hints of smoke.
92/100
Red
The first hour is reflecting a strong of black fruit,very strong of sunlight reflecting,but the tannin of it is still firm,after a hour (bottle breath)the covering fruit gone,only most of spica on it,with some of licorice and the bitterness of the pure coco,and another are the greens plum,it is still need 3-5year storage if it need to be the peak...(it let me think about the Lagrange so sad...)
Advise decant 2hour
