drank over two nights, this wine was way too big for me (perhaps the vintage?), great nose but palate was a little harsh given the intensity of flavor and a bit of heat, some moderate tannin and some significant acidity but just too much for my palate, hope my other two bottles settle down with time, will try to wait five years for the next

Very complex and thinking of black cherries and espresso, opening up more and more over the next couple of hours with compelling notes of chocolate and marcipan. Good fat and length with very intense tannins at this stage This is an extremely elegant and refined Barolo, opend at a perfect time. It is mature, complex, elegant, dense and still with all the fruit one could wish for.

Color losing vibrancy at the edge of the glass. Nice fruits in the mouth also accompanied with a bit of roughness as the swallow finishes.

Pretty light red and quite transparent. Medium bodied, lots of dried cherry, rose, a good dose of licorice and earth. Good acidity, a nice food wine.
