  Young and powerful. Strawberries, raspberries, full of spices and surrounded by a deep smoked feel. Acidic and vivid structure, fervent, medium-full bodied, creamy, quite surprising. Big bold personality, begging for cellar time. Quite a promise! 92+

  On the dark side for Barolo, crimson to purple. Oh wow! Impressively perfumed, captivating terroir. Luxurious and supple on the palate. Very, very young, and the palate is much more reticent than the bouquet suggests. Impeccably balanced and backed by powerful dusty tannins and densely layered substance. It needs at least ten years in the cellar and it will likely last beyond 2035.

  Spicy, herbal, mineral on the nose. Drying finish, very tannic and grippy. Very long. 91-92+(+)

  5/20/2016 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

  Tasted at the cantina. Served from Coravin, this was full of reduction in the first few minutes. But, with some persistent swirling, that's all gone and in its place is bucket of soil, and minerals, and on the palate, more of the same with just a hint of fruit just now. Give this another 4-5 years at least. Quite elegant. Just too young to pronounce anything further.
  
  Served non-blind.
