Sunday, October 13, 2013 - I opened the bottle about 8 hours in advance and let it slow-ox. It clearly improved over that time from an aromatic, but almost astringent, wine initially into some great Barolo that perhaps is still a bit too young.
Light ruby color. Expressive and refined aromas of cherry, rose-petals and tar evolving with some hints of coffee and clove. Full bodied on the palate with mouth coating silky tannins, fresh acidity and some sweet cherry fruit. The finish is very long and keeps on lingering. This wine shows already great balance but also has a lot of structure left to develop for a long time to come wit probably some upside potential. Drink now - 2026
