Really, really nice Barolo. I'm usually more into Tuscany but this is so charming with pleasant tannins mixed with sour berries, lapsang-tea and dark chocolate. Potential for even pore points with a couple of more years cellaring.

Wine has a touch of bricking, otherwise crimson, moderately bright.
On nose, cherries, strawberries, leather, perhaps a hint of rose.
On palate, wine is sound. More rustic than you would expect given the nose. Strong acid, still a little grippy. Will likely go great with the Bolognese we are preparing tonight.
For those of you who own multiple bottles, I'd hold. Another 2-4 years and this will be like silk.

Still drinking wonderfully. Good fruit and that classic Nebbiolo profile across the pallet. This might last a few more years.

Very nice after being open for a bit - roses and red plums on the nose and palate
