This is the kind of bottle that makes you remember why you love Barolo so much. It seems to be in a great place...some signs of aging with the slightly brick edges, but fresh and vibrant with balanced acidity, fruit, and tannins. Has all the classic Barolo taste profiles in spades. Just a great bottle of wine.

Garnet in color. Beautiful nose, big body of red berries, leather, cherry cola. Tannins are big but smooth. Got the structure for another decade easily.

Classy Barolo! Lots of spices, exciting acidity, black tea flavors and floral notes, lots of silky tannins, sweet fruit, elegant wine with a long finish. A very good Giachini in 2010, a lot more elegance than in 2009. - 92 points

Sour cherries, raspberries menthol, tar, licorice. Full bodied. Definitely on the powerful side even for Barolo. 15.5% alcohol! Age this even longer.
