Barolo might just not be for my palate, though this one I liked more than others I've had (which were younger). Could definitely see the age in the color. Acid and red tart berries, with lingering tannins.

drinking lovely. wild macerated strawberries and tarragon. opened this with the 2011 to compare vintages. lots of similarities in flavor but the 2012 was a more bold expression.

This is a very ordinary barolo. I was not impressed. I drank it at 8 years post vintage which is a bit young for Barolo. The color was dark red. There was a slight floral bouquet. The wine was flat -- it had some fruit, a little oak but no Zing even after decanting and aeration.

Dry with strong tannins and really needed more decanting and breathing time.. this Nebbiolo.
A light Barolo, and paired well with the Chinese meal. Thanks Col for the treat at H's birthday.

Drinks like a mediocre Langhe Nebbiolo at a Barolo price...hard pass
