  Same as previous tasting note. This is a great wine, perhaps not the most refined or complex Barolo, but still very good and immensely enjoyable.
  I opened the bottle, and noticed it was slightly off. I think it had some oxidisation. So I took it back to Majestic Wine (a large UK wine retailer), I didn’t have the receipt anymore, but they swapped it right away.
  The new bottle was excellent. Had it with mini truffle cheese raviolis. Great stuff.
  This wine will benefit from an hour in the decanter.

  This is an excellent entry level Barolo. Only paid £16 in the sale at Majestic Wine, but what an exciting bottle this is. Ready to drink now, but will hold for some time.
  Maybe not the most refined of Barolos, but it has all the hallmarks of this great DOGC, with lovely earthly notes of mushrooms, chocolate, tobacco and leather, but also some fruit and spices.
  I can really recommend this wine. We had it with a creamy mushroom pasta, with Parmesan and a few drops of truffle oil. Simply amazing.
