Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 16, 2017 - Off-vintage? This is magnificent. Complex aromas combining fruit (cherries and plums), fresh mint, roses, and a dark and savoury character. Beautiful sweetness of fruit on the palate: it's both light and powerful. Fine-grained tannins, very long and expressive. However this is not a wine which is striking by the sum of its parts but by its harmony. It is already a complex and utterly beguiling wine.
For me, this is a wine to use as a benchmark to decipher the region. I understand that Barolo comes in many expressions and that there are distinct terroirs throughout the region. This is simply great wine.
