Red currants, dark cherry, tar, and dried herbs. Pretty herbaceous in the mouth as well. Medium bodied with rounded tannins. Mid palate hollows out a bit and finishes a bit clipped. Modern, ripe rendition of a Barolo, but pretty darn tasty.

Very clean Barolo for early drinking. After tasting several different offerings across multiple vintages, I’ve found that I’m just not a fan of this producer. There is a lot of new oak, and the complete lack of any sediment makes me think that it has been heavily filtered. It has some tar and cherry flavors and the tannins have been softened by the oak, but it lacks the charm and complexity of good Barolo.
That said, it was competently made and if you like modern styled Barolo, this is ready to go now.

Expect this to get better with age but certainly not a mid 90 point Barolo. Nice. Not great.
