Didn't take any notes other than very tannic. Might be a little closed down at this stage. There are much better Barolo options at this price range. In addition, every Barolo I've had from the '15 vintage over the past year and a half has been miles away from being anywhere as good as the '16 vintage.

Barolo Boys - the third edition (67 Pall Mall): This is a blend of La Morra crus, south-west facing and from the 2015 vintage, so a wine whose warmth and sunniness predominate. Very modern winemaking, and this is the oakiest Nebbiolo I've tasted, with the spicy vanilla nose being more like Rioja than typical Barolo. The oak clashed with the underlying tangy fruit rather than complemented it, and whilst the wine was long and did taste pretty good I felt it lacked character.
