  Overcooked plum compote and tired red fruit on the nose with a distinctive herbal note on the palate which I find every now and then in Barolos and Barbarescos of the 2014 vintage. Lacks purity and tension. Quite a disappointment. WS 93 - what a joke!

  Nice, relatively thin but decent balance considering the price point. A little young, would probably wait at least 2 more years.
