2018 Long Sunday Lunch on the Langhe: Served blind by Luca. Pale red with ochre highlights. An attractive, mellow, fully mature bouquet of fresh and dried red cherries, spices and rusty iron. Almost Pinot-like but with Campari and orange rind. On palate, I was guessing this was a 1990s-era Barolo. A lovely, elegant wine. Fresh with fully resolved tannins. Red cherries, rusty metals, porcini, earth and a touch of citrus. Now at its peak for drinking. My wine of the lunch.
