A “modern” and very well made Barolo in a very mature vintage. The mouth opens with bright fruit against a background of sweet spices. Very nice structure with a magnificent acid frame which gives this wine enormous sapidity. It's fun and surprisingly youthful. Sanguine and tannic finish on a nice spicy length.
Excellent Barolo, still very young, digestible and attractive.

Medium-dark garnet verging on tawny. Raspberry jam, dates, caramel on the nose. Off-dry, high acid, med-high tannin. Sour cherry, blackberry, cedar, clove. Medium body and finish. Had a bottle last week that was surprisingly still drinkable but tasted more like an Amarone- must have been oxidized or cooked. Was also more tawny than this one. This bottle seems just a bit more jammy than you would think, but still has nice tannins.

Unfortunately Either it was in an awkward phase or not in the best shape.

Still going strong. Nice taste of leather, red fruits and some spice. Surprisingly, it had plenty of tanis still.

Nose on raspberry jam.

Decanted for sediment. Never really opened up much on day 1 it was fine but DAY 2 showed much better. Cherry and Tar were there then. DRINK or HOLD
