Quickly double decanted then drunk over two evenings.
A youthfully brooding nose with tar, iron, violet as much as rose, cherry fruit, earth, and a little medicine cabinet. On the palate, it's still densely packed and tightly coiled on opening, not to say this wine is dense, just hiding a lot of depth and intensity. Even in this riper year, this is focused and detailed with more dark and red nebbiolo fruit, tar, menthol, and rose. Firm and still youthful, it finishes with firm fine nebbiolo tannins. On day two it fleshed out some. Promising, but for me it's a few years too young. I will revisit in a minimum of 5 years. 93+

Klar, rubinrød med lys kant. Søtlig nese av roseblader, søte, lyse kirsebær og rørsukker. Bløt, glatt og slank sødmefull frukt med preg av lyse, røde bær og hint av kanel. Deilig frisk syre. Finstøvete tanniner. Lang finish med fin sødme.

No detailed note. Had as part of a wide-ranging Barolo tasting.
