Surprise find off wine list in Boutique hotel in UK (listed at retail price - my gain!). Bright, light cherry colour, great nose from long distance on pour - violets, white pepper, liquorice and fresh tar, complex and volatile (in a good way), slightly underripe but refreshing cherries on palate, great balance with subtle grip, complexity carries through finish of red fruits into tobacco and black pepper - v v good and a surprise on a straight pour.

Very good Barolo with classic elements on the nose and palate: black cherry, raisin and tar. Pleasant, medium weight on the palate; medium finish. Not great, but everything about this is very good, including the price at your neighborhood warehouse store! Solid QPR.

Nose of dried cherries, flint, touch of garrigue. Mouth feel is dry with astrigent tannins. Some red fruit but overpowered at this point by large amount of barrique. Will be more balanced and amazing in 4-5 years.

Was authentic: An excellent example of the zone with complex highs of flowers, spices, and lows of tars. It had lush tannins that were very approachable now. The next day, in glass, open to 19 hours air it had hardly changed and was even more enjoyable. Decant for 24 hours prior to drinking.

Excellent wine with notes of red and dark fruit with tobacco. Flavor changes dramatically with oxygen. Will be excellent in a few years time.
