  Colour was garnet tending to red. More in the mouth than the nose. Rose, rosehip, sour cherry, cranberry, tar. Very well balanced with fine tannin and a med+ finish.

  Not what I was expecting. Previous 2014 Barolos have been on the light side with high acidity but this was different. Beautiful floral nose and plenty of concentration and good length.
  Quite tarry and a touch closed (still some fine tannin too) but with flowers and fruit lurking beneath the surface which maybe will reveal themselves more with time. Sorely tempted to buy a few more of these. 4

  Fresh, some maturity but not that much. Nice tannins. Decant 3-5 hours really helped.. first quite simpel but grow with time. Last glass was best. Give this some time in caraffe. Could hold 2-4 years but dont think it will improve that much . Good Barolo but not excellente. 89-90 p

  Decent enough but certainly not a great wine. I think Alex made the right call to blend all the crus together in this difficult vintage. The wine is pretty basic. Well made but lacks the pop of a typical Brovia.

  Nice to taste this Barolo after 9 years but it did not surpise rather met expectations.
