Dunno what the last reviewier was drinking (or smoking)! But this is all stewed black fruit wrapped in dusty cocoa and black pepper. Flowers, if any, would be violets. A full bodied red and classic expression of Pomerol. Double the enjoyment of this, would be Petrus. At possibly 25x the price.

I struggled a bit with this one as the primary aromas were lacking and I was distracted by lasagne and a dinner party. Going by the comments above ,this wine requires deep concentration and deep conversation. Is it worth it? A 2nd or 3rd growth would have been equally forthcoming at similar quality.

This is not a blockbuster barolo. Somewhat diluted. But all the primary and tertiary flavours are there with a nice balance. I enjoyed the farm and bramble notes and definitely roast lamb and goat's cheese with rosemary will love this wine!
