  A solidly constructed barolo and with a couple hour decant it was drinking well with nicely integrated tannin structure. Not highly indicative of terroir but good nonetheless.

  Tart cherries, bright acidity, smooth but grippy tannins, earthy but polished, hints of mushroom and cranberries. Earthy aromas with a bit of funk. Very enjoyable and levels better than a daily sipper.
  
  EDIT: Upgrading from 92 to 93 after a couple of more tastings...love the grippy tannins. Compared to a nice barbaresco, it's noticeably more potent in tannins.

  9 hours in it was in its prime. Not as complex as the Marengo but still with good complexity. Very muscular. All monforte so I am guessing just needs more time. To hold.

  Cherry and a touch hard edged but beautiful. Just opened now.

  Beautiful fruit driven (cherry) nose. Also integrated so I don't really see a reason to wait, even if it is the 2015 vintage.
