Tasted at a trade tasting in NYC. This was better than the last time I had this a year ago. It is classic Barolo but rich and dark fruited and while quite tannic it lacked some of the balancing acidity compared to the 2016 version. So, it seems a bit earlier drinking.

Really beautiful but maybe a bit "too" soft with the tannins? Or maybe just so young that the tannins haven't yet started to close it up. From my experience with the '11 vintage, this is going to be a great one.

Am Weingut. Hmmm. Im Moment bin ich nicht von den 15ern von Luigi überzeugt. Sehr heiss aber gleichzeitig scharfe Säure und brustkrank in der Frucht. Ein guter Barolo aber für den eigentlich guten Jahrgang enttäuschend.

Wow that has such an amazing smell. Palate is not so huge. It's huge I guess but super integrated. Powerful.
