  Will hold my remaining bottles and revisit in 5 years. Potential is there but in its current state the wine is unbalanced with overwhelming tannins and acidity.

  Drinking well at the moment. Would have guessed this was a few yrs older than it is. Very good QPR. Fairly classic entry-level Barolo.

  Enjoyed alongside the 2015 La Fortuna BdM.
  
  Excellent purity! A wine of the Piedmontese earth. Lovely red fruits and berries, rose hips, herbal teas, herbs, and light petrol. Inflection changing at all phases.
  
  Compact, sleek, and bracing. The intensely juicy attack transitions to a complete middle, that dances across the palate. Tannins, in powdered steel form, emerge in a big way at the back. Zingy, piercing finish of delightful length.
  
  Seamless, generous, satisfying. A decade in the cellar will do it no harm. By far and way preferable over the BdM.

  Pleasant but surprisingly little going on. Kind of boring for a Barolo. I decanted for 45 minutes
