Colour is dark red, rim is brown-orange. Nose is open mainly roses, medical, spices and strawberry. Taste is Strong, extracted, tar, dry roses, but also elegant with a lot of coolness (2010 hallmark but this is also on a high position). Also not so dry, more fruit here than in most nebbiolos. Long finish - mellow tar if this exist

More fruitdriven and elegant than other Barolo 2010. Taken a bit early, but then the normal dryness and earthyness is less profound. Reminds me more of young NsG in Burgundy.
Colour quite light brown-red, very nice classic nose with orangepeel, dry roses, herbal, tar. Taste is not dry and quite fruithy and cool style. Strawberry fruit. Medium long, very good balance now.

Sour strawberry and hints of cherry on the nose, along with a cranberry undertone. Tannic, for sure, as this is a 2010; a 4 hour decant softened the finish nicely. Natural pairing for osso buco, was sippable with salumi and cheese to start.

The Moino Cru are where they excel, but their style of winemaking sadly compromises the integrity of the vineyard's terroir and makes these a major pass for me. This is a big wine, but that is the Monlino style; BIG. Over-extracted fruit, discombobulated alcohol and relentless tannin, which is about the only thing that reminds me this is Nebbiolo. Molino is a good gateway producer to get new-world drinkers in to old-world wines, but given the price/value of this and the lack of typicity of the area, this is something to pass on.

Initial a little four square and tight. After half hour much better, smoother and very much 2010 vintage
