Hard to rate …very young ….translucent raspberry color …hard to say what this will be in 10 years….gelatin tar and strawberries……doesn’t really move much over 3 hours . Will let my others sit for 5 years at least

Unusual wine, especially for such a young wine from a supposedly tannic vintage.
This is silk itself. The finest tannins imaginable.
medium rub color, translucent rim. Combo of light and dark berries with some forest and tar on the nose. Quite florally beautiful, but aren't most Barolos?
Palate more or less matches nose. restrained, tar, berries, fruit. Some spices (not sure precisely).
A purity that is unmistakable. Nothing off - at all.
This is a triumph not only of what it "is", but what it is not.
At it's price point an excellent, restrained Barolo.

Very light, more like a barbaresco but good

Exceeding light on the colour.
Fresh red strawberries and cherries.
Some licorice, vanilla albeit light.
There's some spice going on there as well ~ maybe white pepper? Smoke?
Couldn't really pick out the tar and roses fresh from the bottle. They come out unmistakably after 1+ hour in the glass!
Alc. 14% is a little high, definitely benefits from some decanting
Overall a straightforward easy to drink and relatively well priced bottle!

Meh. Boring and a bit woody. Not *bad*, but completely uninteresting.
