  Very advanced in all respects for a 2009 Barolo, but not really tired. The flavour profile has distinct tertiary elements (beef stock, cocoa, white nuts and undergrowth), but there is some fresh fruit left, the weighty palate (14.5% ABV) is a bit low on energy and the tannins are sticky but not too dominant, the dried fruit finish indicates full maturity. No need to keep this any longer. I should note however that it holds up well for two days in the open bottle, so there is no real hurry either.

  A bit advanced in color. Rich and well structured with cocoa and black cherry notes.

  Ah le nebbiolo! Sa robe pâle et ses arômes si particuliers m'ont fait croire à un vin plus âgé (j'étais sur le Rhône nord). Peu de notes, mais je me souviens d'un vin très accessible pour un barolo aussi jeune, avec des tannins assez souples pour l'appellation (le tout est sans doute caché derrière le fruit mûr de cette année solaire), e une finale un peu chaude qui trahit le millésime. Très bien.
