Tuesday, May 5, 2020 - This is an aristocratic, highly elegant wine which shines with its inner harmony and balance more than with an expressive aroma profile. It got better with a lot of air revealing ever more aromas. Not with the best Barolos out there in terms of complexity and precision but nevertheless a very fine wine which is in a good spot (with a lot of air) but can further improve for some more years. 94 points with 95 in its best moments
TN: At first a bit muted but with time very nice black truffles, tar, mushroom notes with more floral than red fruit notes. Crushed wet rocks, a very nice herbal component and with more time a ripe slightly liquory red fruit. Not hyper intense and precise but on a good to very good level. Very harmonious and elegant with melted tannins and an uplifting acidity and with time a more creamy texture.
Decanting: Needs at least 5 hours in the decanter.
