All of the elements of an excellent wine are here but it feels a little hollow and disjointed - too young? Quite a savoury nose with olive, engine oil, red berries, tomato, aniseed. Chewy palate which could do with a little more weight, juicy with decent length. Pales a bit in comparison to the outstanding 2016 but this is still a very good value wine.

A night at Botrinis, Athens (Botrinis, Athens): By the glass at Botrinis , Athens . Part of their wine pairing so freshly opened and a nice gift from the sommelier. Bright , fresh, soft tomato, olive, young Barolo with no tar though, good, glass of wine here, touch brash and not sure if it’s the youth or the quality of the fruit but a pretty wine and pure even at this young age relatively. 89
