  SLDS May 2021: Classic tar and roses, licorice, blackberry and violets. Powerful tannins, punchy fruit ripeness that compliments the tight structural elements.

  Åben lige fra proppen er oppe. Jordbær, viol og mynte i meget frugtet næse, også lidt tobak og fad (?) på bagkant. Man fornemmer lidt udvikling men står ret frisk. Masser af jordbær i munden, tanninerne er forbløffende bløde. Virker til at være det helt rigtige tidspunkt at drikke den på, balancen er virkelig god mellem frugt og bid, tilpas længde og kompleksitet. Drikker godt, som Søren Frank plejer at skrive.
  
  Med et par timers luft åbner den endnu mere for kompleksiteten, og jeg er ret overbevist om, at den ikke bliver meget bedre. På en eller anden måde super klassisk barolo men samtidig med virkelig bløde tanniner og så en frugtighed, der er lidt over det normale.

  Tasted this one a year ago. It was oddly off-balance, as I remember it, disjointed, underwhelming. Today much better. A fine Barolo with soft and light characterstics. A pleasure. Fresh and fruity with substantial tannins. Wouldn’t wait too long though. Doesn’t seem like a long hauler.

  Roses tar balsam on the nose. Round and ripe, dense and with a sense of sap. On the palate, the flavors are bordering brown, with beef broth/bouillon. Surprising acidity gives some relief from the broader and brown flavors, giving some lift and freshness. Balsamic on the back end. Has same hole in palate but less pronounced than the Barolo di Barolo.
