  Notes of a Novice
  
  This was a side-by-side test with a 2011 Barolo, Seghesio. Personally I preferred the Barolo.
  
  14.5% alcohol
  
  • very thin, but with visible color variation
  • very wide rim
  • on the nose, mild, fruity, hint of sweet
  • alcohol very prominent, reminiscent of Schnapps
  • tastes young, refreshing, light
  • quite dry - only an intimation of sweetness
  • plums, hint of cherries, mixed with hint of Schnapps
  • solid tannins
  • slight bitter aftertaste, which does not linger, and seems to add to body
  • body is very light
  • long on tannins
  • bit heady
  • PERSONAL NOTE
  • as is, I would not buy this wine again - needs a lot of aging.
  
  Corked, refrigerated, tasted the next day. Aroma is very delicate, and for my taste, the wine turned into a wall-flower. Too modest.
  
  Left some in a wide glass to breathe for about 8-10 hours, and it turned into a lovely wine - nice and balanced. Could use long decanting on day 1.

  I must have had this from tank. My notes are "fresh and bright like a really good gamay." And again, I am positive I was at the winery, drinking this one straight from the stainless steel tank. There it is.
