Nose: lots of cherries, cranberry, violets, smoke, tar, licorice, sophisticated nose Taste: full bodied, high tannins, medium+ acidity, cherry, dark cherry, blackberry, earth, black pepper, black tea, smoke, licorice, long finish, monumental structure, chevy tannins, good acidity but from the other side great fruit so everything is balanced and complex, very good barolo with many years ahead, better after 4-5 hours aeration

This wine got 27 months of oak ageing. Concentrated dark cherries and autumn impressions in the bouquet. On the palate dark cherries and autumn impressions as well, firm tannin, good acidity and a touch of sweetness. Concentrated and a mouth full. This wine has an extreme future. Until 2030 at least. Although the tannin is almost overwhelming, the juice is very ok and with enough time on it this will be a great wine. Score for today 91 but I add 2 points for future expectations; so 93.
