  Appears orangey brick red/garnet. Clean. Legs consistent with 14% strength. Predominant aromas of strawberry and tar. Tastes typically highly acidic with corresponding tannins. Red fruit, liquorice, and damsons come through. Good balance and meaty structure. Long length. Great now, but will improve over the next five years. Enjoyed with a plain pan-fried duck breast.

  Raspberry, cherry, violets, sweet caramel and vanilla. Developing nose. Juicy palate with grippy and dry tannins. Flavours of sour cherry, cedar and leather.

  A real Barolo indeed. No dissapointment, given the moderate price.

  Decent effort but rather a low end Barolo. For the price it's acceptable. Nicely dry, great nose, but short finish and not too much complexity .

  This is a really poor effort of a Barolo. But considering the price, I'm not really surprised. Nose is dominated by volatile acidity, glue, tar, hallonbåtar (Swedish raspberry candy shaped like small boats), mothballs and cherries.
  High acidity, distinct tannins and miniscule fruit. Medium body, and a bitter, short finish.
