The nose drew me in and captivated me. It’s deeply serious and warmly welcoming, complex and yet completely one pulled-together thing of roasted fruit, some leather, tinges of orange peel, and some rain in the woods. Just very Barolo. High tannic dryness in the first two hours after decanting, but forgiving yet serious afterward. Long finish.

Full of tension: dark fruits with some light berries at the end of the palate; pushing the edges of fullness but pulling itself back in; some velvet from the tannin but some dryness, too. Seems early to make a call about this wine, but it is very good.

Light red in color & shimmering in the light. Beautiful bright red raspberry on the nose, well balanced and super bright, with just a touch of ripeness and a bit weighty on the backend. Very good, and easy to drink without food.
