Thursday, April 18, 2024 - Day 1, muted nose that opened after 30 minutes giving a little floral terracotta, ruby red colour with no significant signs of age. Fairly classic Barolo palate, a little shrill and high pitched but decent with food, mainly red fruit, really lovely fine and firm tannic structure. 90 points but no more.
Day 2 this now has loads of complexity in the nose! Heady and inviting. The palate has first spice (a touch of clove and cardamom?) and then depth where the fruit has turned darker- forest fruits and tar, rounder even smoother tannins with less prominence but still present. Probably 93 or 94 on this showing.
Hold or ensure it’s opened very early and given the chance to breathe slowly.
