Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 16, 2023 - Bright colour for its age: garnet with an orange tinge.

The aroma smells of roses and red fruit with a hint of green character in the background, something mint-esque. There is some earthiness but overall is quite bright and floral. The aromatic intensity is moderate, as Barolos go, nothing overpowering but really beautiful.

The tannins have a velvet texture that stick to the tongue but without lasting too long. The acidity is mellow but the wine comes out nicely tart, bright and smooth. The flavour of this wine is amazing and the complexity is good.

I expect this wine will keep another 8 to 10 years. As I understand it, Barolos go through a stage of floral aroma with some fruit and earthy notes before they age into tertiary flavours. I expect this to evolve to the tobacco, dried fruits and leather notes around 2030. This is a really really lovely wine, thoroughly enjoyed!
