  Beautiful at the moment! Very nice indeed with grilled beef with funnel chanterelle.

  Slow-oxed for 4 days prior to serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“Flower” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.
  
  Mix or red berry and cherry fruits, and florals. Hints of balsamic and sweet spices.
  
  Very finely textured on palate with super suave tannins. Good grip of flavours and length. Really enjoyable! 93-94 points to me.
  
  About 1/2 left: more and more powdery cosmetics / floral notes emerged. More about purplish fruits at this stage. Highly finessed on nose and accessible on palate. More towards 94 points for me now.
  
  About 1/3 left: more smoky and tarry notes although remaining more about elegance rather than power here (after all this has been slow-oxed for 4 days), but this is a style that I enjoy. Saline notes on palate and more minerality on palate.
  
  Last few pours: “wow” this is really going up with the extra lift of ethereal fruit and floral notes towards the end of the bottle! More like 94-95 points to me.
  
  Final 2 pours: there is this extremely fine floral, spice-driven nose that really set this apart from most young Barolos for me, incredible showing of a wine at this age... Upgrade to 95 points

  Mursteinsrød med begynnende orange rand.
  Som den unge Baroloen den er så oppleves den umiddelbart litt lukket og skarp i kantene. Utvikler seg raskt og i løpet av de fire timene på karaffel, har vi etterhvert en seriøs vin i glasset.
  Delikate røde bær. Nyperoser og marsipan. En anelse fat og lær. Eukalyptus eller er det menthol... peppermynte?
  På smak, modne kirsebær, selvsagt tjære og lær. Elegant og medium fyldig. Tørr men ikke for mye. Lakris i utgangen. Morkent tre er med lenge.
  Fin kompleksitet. Ett svært hyggelig bekjentskap til en overraskende tilgjengelig ung Barolo.

  This was an absolutely solid Barolo, showcasing the vintage very well. 25 days of maceration with grapes harvested as late as possible, giving a neat intensity. Elevage takes place in 30hl. botti for 30 months, and the wine receives a further maturation in bottle for 8 months before release.
  
  The nose is beautiful, and not too closed, probably owing to the hot vintage. Elegant cherry fruit, a touch of tar, asphalt, and saddle leather. The palate is lovely, and carries the fruit over, but it is slightly tight. The tannins are certainly present, but well integrated, and don't knock your teeth out.
  
  I'd suggest buying a few, as it's a bargain. Drink one now, and save the rest for another 5 years before revisiting.
