Quite nice. More intensive than the 2011 Poderi di Colla and 2008 Sordo, this is simply thicker, tastier, fuller juice. Taste led by coffee and ripe plum. Bit of animality. A well made, pleasant, fun wine but no trace of greatness. Aftertaste could be longer. Costs 30 EUR - at 20 it would be in its place.

A year or so ago it seemed closed, now it’s in a good spot - but will improve with more time, or perhaps a decant. Liquorice notable on the palate, tannins have softened but still present. Have definitely had better but still enjoyable.

Not a great year in Barolo , but a very nice wine. A wine to drink now and the next 5 years. I read it is 25% Cast. Fall and the rest from Serralunga....you can taste the licorice and the masculine type. Spice and the Barolo elements is present. Good solid Barolo.

Tasty dark cherry, tar, and herbal notes on the nose and palate with youthful tannins on the moderate finish. An enjoyable early drinking Barolo.
