Deep red colour, delicate nose with the expected rose leaves and tar notes. On the palate this took about a day to really come together; on the first day my experience was of a well-made wine that was still a little clunky and un-enjoyable. On the second day this was significantly improved, and some of the traits I expect from Sandri wines were really beginning to show: a pure, linear fruit, focused but ethereal, good length. The wine seems to be in a good place now.

Deep red colour, slightly bricky. Very pleasant perfume of rose leaves, quite light. On the palate, the wine needs quite a bit of time to open up; on day 2 it really begins to show its quality. Not what I would consider a "typical" Barolo; this is rather pinot-like, light and elegant. Good balance and length. Still seems very young; will try it again in a couple of years.
