Another Excellent La Villa from Seghesio. Directly after opening one gets red berries (sour cherries) and some other typical varietal notes like violets. After 30 minutes it starts to close down and with some additional time you get some mint and camomile. Pretty complex wine with still broody tannins. I will wait 3-5 more years for another bottle to open. Shows the potential of the 2013 vintage for Barolo.

Decided to try it early. Decanted for 8+ hours and it still needed more time as it was very tannic. Continued to open up in the glass and can only imagine what a little more time would do. Wet balanced full wine.

Medium plus nose hits the right notes, floral, dried red fruit, sandalwood, dried spice, fresh herb. Palate is big fruit and structure, a little showy in a nice way, quite dry on the finish. Dried violet tones, tobacco, nice overall.
