On opening closed and charmless, give this wine a good two hour's decant to express itself. Garnet, with definite alcoholic legs ( 14.5% ), the nose opens out to show sweet cherries, strawberries, hints of rose Turkish Delight, balsamic and leather, mint, vanilla, tobacco, and charcoal. Acidity is still high, with flavours of cooked plums, cranberries ,and tobacco, with a finish of dry tannin, and tobacco. Time and air will reveal this wine's quality. Mature , but with at least 5 years ahead .

11/20 - two more years it can be held before drinking; good w/pesto or cream sauce

Not a great Barolo but showing some fresh fruits and minerals from its surface, but overall rather closed and discrete.

Pleasant, well balanced and open. Not overly long or complex. Drink or keep. 90-92
