One hour decant. In its drinking window. Still slightly tannic but good mouthfeel and long finish. Tar, violets, roses. Very good reasonable price barolo.

Single blind tasting. Garnet, bricking with rim clearing, mild sediment. Aromatics medium. Red flowers, earth, and secondary of strawberry. Subtle early VA. Overall nose has a typical barolo feminine quality to me. Enjoyable but not very intense. Palate medium. Acid medium+. Tannin high, on the teeth and fine in quality with a crescendo intensity. Alcohol medium+. Old plums Finish has a medium length. Balance is towards the tannins, needs more fruit. I would hold, hoping that the fruit issues of this wine will improve. While the other structural elements should allow it to age, I really don't know what will happen. .

I do not see any special nuance. it is not worth the $70-$100 for sure. it is too defined and squared without going in the mental rainbow trip of many of the Barolo's. Sounds weird that pricing. I have another bottle I will drink in few years maybe the secret lays in that waiting. I hope I change my mind.

Paper,rosemary,balsamic,roses and sand. Raw meat and black licorice. The spattering left by cooked steak.
Just the thing to drink with a good steak.
