Very good aged Barolo. Good body and intensity with many aged flavors. The wine has mellowed out and now seems on the other side of the peak. Recommend drinking over the next few years.

Impressively aged normale, leaning quite clearly modern. Very dark ruby colour, nose of dark cherry, tar and licorice. Same sensations on palate, which is quite rich. Seems it can go for quite a few more years as it still packs a punch. update: fell apart a bit after around 5-6 hours of air so may revise that comment on ageing

Complex aromatics of tar, lipstick, aniseed and black fruits. It is rich and quite glossy with good intensity on the palate. It has both power and poise.

(ALTARE LA MORRA BAROLO) #2; COLOR-dark; NOSE-wild nose, Purell hand sanitizer, evergreen forest, little heat; TASTE-Oak Monster, little too creamy, very New World, ton of candied & jammy cherries, nice tannin structure, good complete dry finish, a Young wine--it's got a long way to go, Not my cup of tea for a Barolo, but many New World fans would love it; AG-93; GV-88+

Tasted blind. Nose is all about Barolo, with roses and red fruit. But on the palate it's very tannic, with a slightly bitter finish. Still young.
