Popped and poured. Dark fruit (black cherry, cherry), nice floral- rose, earth, tannins, good acidity. Lingering finish. Some complexity on the finish.

Last of three bottles and still showing very well. This is a small production bottling for Fontanafredda, with about 4,500 bottles total, plus or minus. It shows classic Barolo notes of smoke and leather, forest floor, crushed red berries. Mid-weight, thinning a bit on the finish, with brighter acid than many 1990s. Well made and very enjoyable.
