Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, January 29, 2008 - 93+. Fantastic nose of chocolate, flowers, with tea, oak, tar and perhaps a pinch of minerals in the background. On the palate, plenthy of chocolate and sour cherry, with maybe some suggestions of darker fruit (plum, blackberry?). Medium-full bodied. Very bright and high-pitched, but also quite powerful. Lively acidity, bold but fine-grained tannins. Exotic spice emerges on the mouthwatering and wonderfully long finish. Drinking well with healthy decant, but still strikes me as a bit tight. Lots of life ahead, I think. Of the few quality Barolos I've had the opportunity to try, this is probably the best thus far. I really like this style.
