  Similar on the nose to the Brovia, with ripe cherry fruit and tar. A little "clumsy" on the palate, though - hard to describe exactly what I mean here, but at first glance, my least favorite of the three wines. Maybe it will tighten up with some air.

  PnP and let sit for a minute. Initially somewhat closed. Swirling reveals classic aromas and tastes. This is in a very good place now. Color is purple-red fading through lighter colors to a stripe of orange at the edge. Tannin is well-integrated during dinner of porchetta, gnocchi with arugula, tomatoes and Parmesan. As wine opens aromas of cherries, violets and mint. Elegant. Very nice during and after the meal.

  Masculine Barolo which was well balanced and in its drinking window.

  My first time trying this wine, to the best of my recall.
  
  Better on the nose, which features a whiff of roses and some ripe cherry fruit.
  
  Still with some unresolved tannin on the palate, especially noticeable on the finish. I don’t love this, but it might be still about 3-5 years from decent drinkability, so I won’t judge it too harshly today.

  Didn’t try this when newly released but seems like tannins like they have receded a bit, so quite drinkable even without food. Good acidity and a clean style, no medicinal flavours. Cherry, rosehip, minerality, roses. It is a good Barolo but I think I found it lacking something of an own personality, a certain je-ne-sais-quoi because I was never excited drinking it.
  
  Edit: on day two I had to raise the score from 90 to 91+, the freshness seemed more obvious then and it is clear this can go for quite a while still. I felt more satisfaction drinking it on the second day as well so day 1 might have just been grumpiness on my part.
