  Cork. 14.5% alc.
  Decanted 1 hour.
  Red fruit, rose, dried herbs. A balanced and medium bodied palate, with good interest and vitality. Drinking very well now.

  Color had more of a brown red tone to it
  
  Seemed a bit thin and past it’s prime. Could had been a storage issu years ago before new climate controlled wine cellar if last 4 years
  
  Nice fruit hints but some residual tartness had set in

  No detailed notes, but this is a great example of the fabulous 2010 vintage. The color in the glass is dark ruby red and the nose is enticing with red fruit and some mature Barolo aromas of old sock, which is a big positive. On the palate there's the red fruit, still quite firm tannins and medium acidity. This is in prime time now but should keep stable for another 3 to 5 years. Great QPR for entry level Barolo from a great producer in a stellar year! Can't wait to try their 2010 Barolo San Rocco!

  This was in a really good phase where the tannins are softened and fine grained but the wine is still fresh and the acidity is juicy. I got notes of orange, rosehip, wild strawberry, dried cherry along with roses and violets and a serralungan mineral streak. Very clean style, very good.

  Really shines after 3 hours of decanting. Open it and stay away for awhile.
