Testing the thesis that the ‘18s are early drinkers and ready already now.
Fresh & open immediately up opening. With time evolves. Bit but still shows ripe cherry with some wilted flowers. Classic. But there’s also some strawberry, a bit of wet, turned earth. Fresh & inviting.
On the palate this is ready immediately after opening. Not decant needed. Fresh, juicy tannins, perfect balance, nice depth.
This is really nice, already now. Not the best out there (vintage? Wine?) but really nice. Keep your ‘16s & ‘19s in the cellar and drink what ready now! — a day ago

Day 1 - Nose - dense rose - raspberry/strawberry & spice earthy. Palate / all of the above but more earthy/ tannins with Long lingering finish on opening.
2 days later - totally different wine. Nose sweet cherry and spice. Palate is silky and complex with cherry, balsamic, truffle, spice, and undergrowth. Tannins are soft leaving lingering tingling on the front of the tongue.

The color is a clear garnet with a cleans medium smell of sweet red fruits, mostly strawberry. It has a medium sweetness, acidity, and alcohol level that is balanced by full body, intensity and finish. Tastes mostly or cherry and was very enjoyable. — 2 months ago

Lemon, lemon curd, white flowers, a tiny chalky thing too. This is a very intriguing and inviting nose. The palate is very well made, with a superlative balance. Great acid drive, lovely lemony and lemon curd touches, even lemon syrup, good grip, long fruity, zingy finish with almost a sweet twist to it. It's great! — 7 months ago

Needed a few more years, but eventually opened up. Crunchy, tannic, crushed rose petals on nose, strawberries too. Traditional, classy barolo. — a month ago

2013 vintage. Last tasted 7.26.23 (9.4). This time via Coravin. Seemed to be in a state of transition just 8 months later. A little less body, spice and overall concentration. Definitely needed airtime. 3.20.24. — 2 months ago
