To me, everything a Barolo should be. Tight, as expected upon opening -- almost no nose at all After a decant for 30-45 min, the nose really opened up with sour cherry, tobacco, tar and spice. Some minor bricking but ink-like opacity. On the palate similar notes repeating with a long long finish with great acidity and balancing tannins. Drinking very well right now.

Decanted for about an hour. Deep opaque red. Wine opened up quite a bit with decanting. Sour cherries with some cedar on the nose. Fills the plate with dark fruit, green pepper and spice notes with tannins adding grip and keeping it in balance. This wine is well structured and is holds up very well with food. Should drink well over the next 6-7 years.

A more subtle CndP. Very enjoyable with lighter beef filet
