A sort of sour fruits with ‘earthiness’ nose - there isn’t quite tomato paste, but there’s a suggestion.
On the palate it’s much of the same, but with the more - unmistakable? - grip of Nebbiolo. And, true to form for the grape to me, that grip grows the more air it receives.
An absolute bargain of a wine. Sadly, Barolo prices seem to only be heading in one direction, but this is a quality wine at a good price.

Opened this last night. Deep, dark red. Clingy. Nice nose of sweet cherries and saddle leather, very pretty. Has really come alive on the palate, with big, luscious flavors that fill the mouth. Unctious and sexy, with piquant fruit. Lengthy finish. Showing very well right now, at its peak, no danger of decline anytime soon. 5-13-17-8: 93/100.

Quite enjoyable, but also very forward and lots of deep rich fruit. Didn't show a ton of complexity on this particular evening, but tasty.

Un barolo intense, un peu disjoint, sur les arômes classique de fleurs, goudron, corsé et acide. Rien à voir avec ma bouteille bu il y a 2 ans... :(
