  First of two bottles. Notes from day 2. Medium ruby. Pronounced aromas of licorice, red fruits, floral/leafy. More orange on the palate. Medium body, M+ acidity, XD, high tannins, high alcohol (14.5%). I probably drank this too young, but it will be fun to see how it changes in the next ten years.

  Reasonably priced and from one of the greatest ever Barolo vintages. Would recommend buying 3, one to try now and two to lay down.
  
  Opaque medium ruby in the glass.
  
  Typical Nebbiolo nose meant in the best possible way. I couldn’t keep my nose out of the glass. Pronounced aromas of tar and red roses, red cherry, earth and shoe leather.
  
  Fine grained but firm tannins, punchy acidity and perfectly integrated alcohol.
  
  Flavours match the nose with a tart cranberry addition.
  
  Long finish.
  
  Drink 2022-2031
