Licorice, cherry, orange, tobacco, mushroom. Beautiful texture thanks to velvety tannins and bright fruit. This is highly elegant, balanced and refined, nothing overdone. Complex and classic, one for purists. I doubt it will improve with further cellaring, but it should remain on top for 5 more years and drink well until 2033. A little too short to merit a higher score.

Really enjoyed this. After a 1 hour decant it opened up nicely with flavors of dark berry, dark cherry and earth. Before decanting the tannins were to heavy.

No formal notes. Decanted one hour followed over the evening. Strawberry, iron and anise. Medium- body, medium acidity, fine grained tannins.

Tightness of barolo has blown off. Drinking wonderfully.

Second of two bottles. Tannins still high. Hold and see what happens.
