  Shows a ruby colour in the glass with just a hint of bricking starting to emerge. On the nose the wine is earthy and smokey. Slight darker fruit profile on the palate - a smooth, silkier style of Barolo with quite soft tannins. Lovely wine and very good value.

  Dark ruby color. Young looking. Nose of blackberries, black cherry. Spice, mineral. Similar on the palate with good depth of fruit, slight pleasant stewed character with a nice tannic background. Drinking nicely if you like some power and youth to your wine.

  Nice ripe acidic red fruits - very much cherry leading the charge - with a nice ‘floral edge’ (I suppose if pushed you could put roses, but I’m not convinced it’s exactly roses).
  
  Good mouth-watering acidity to match our lamb and fennel stew, and plenty of mouth puckering furry tannins. Lovely crowd-pleaser it is too, has got me wondering to myself whether I bought enough 2015's. .

  Upon opening, some bricking noted. Decanted this one hour, but that wasn't really necessary. Nose initially roasted fruits, roses, liquorice and leather. Palate dry and sharp, initially well balanced between acidity, tannins and fruit but over the dinner hour the acidity won out.
  
  This strikes me as a modernised Barolo, a bit lighter, less tannic and more fruit forward than in the past. Sorry, but I prefer traditional Barolo wine making.

  Medium red color. Aromas of red cherries, anise and rhubarb. Medium bodied friut in the mouth with very good depth and length and nicely resolved tannins. Supple and lithe on the palate. At beginning of peal drinking period.
