Initial smell of volatiles when opened, followed by red fruit and floral aromas. Color is red with a touch of brown fading to a bit of orange at the edge. Initial cherry flavor with heat, acid and a rush of tannin, so I may decant this before dinner. The wine definitely cleans the mouth at the finish. Legs show the 14.5% alcohol. There are some oak notes that linger as well as some savory herbs. Feels like the alcohol is blowing a bit hard across the palette. More air... Still hot after almost an hour open. Other flavors coming out with food. Mint or menthol. Some black cherry. Drank with homemade beef+pork tomato sauce over angel hair and a kale salad. Softening a bit after 1 1/2 hours open.

I didn't realize that Barolo could be so elegant. Vibrant, brickish red almost Pinot Noir like In its depth of color, A luscious light feeling in the mouth. Cherries, a hint of raisin dried fruit and only a touch of oak, well integrated oak. This wine inspired me to immediately purchase several nicely aged Barolos. This wine needs time.

Great balance, tart cherry and dark fruit with slight leather overtones. Soft tannins with crisp acidity. Drinking well.

The nose was not giving as much as the palate, mostly dried red fruits, but had flavors of red berries, licorice, dried roses petals.
