Ma dernière bouteille et la meilleure ! Le vin s'est enfin ouvert sur le plan aromatique et montre une belle complexité entre notes florales, fruitées et épicées. L'équilibre en bouche se fait sur une belle fraîcheur et des tanins abondants mais bien intégrés. Prêt à boire ou garder 5 ans et plus.

Casual weekday dinner wines: Quite a bit of VA on the nose. Light but tart cherry fruit on the palate, had the bite and acidity of a good Nebbiolo. Seemed so straightforward that it's hard to see this improving further with more age.

Not as good as I remembered. Nose was fine but nothing too complex. A bit hot on the palate, with acidity to match but overall felt disjointed. Nice cherries and licorice root, grippy tannins, long ending. Decent Barolo but not sure this will improve much given the vintage.
P.S. - better, less disjointed on day 2 - perhaps just needs lots of air.

Brandied cherries up front, drops down to a deep core with tar and some burnt caramel, finishes smoothly on tannin but with a little hint of the alcohol as well. Went better with cheese than it did with two meat dishes.

Approchable barolo with weak nose and fruit. Not sure if it’s too early to open. Nice structure with earthy, herbs and tomato notes but needs some intensity.
