So tasty and dry; deep berry nose. Not spicy but heavy on the berries

Love. Tar and roses fix. Delicious. AND an amazing value. Run, don't walk.

Out of the bottle into the glass. A suspiciously translucent and raisiny brown. This wine suffers from progeria... not a bad thing if your a 2011 Barolo sitting open on my counter but extremely unfortunate if your lying around in some cellar doing nothing. The clock is ticking on this one. A quick swirl and a whiff meh... Smells like Nebbiolo. Cheap Nebbiolo. First taste mere seconds in the glass.... Flat and watery... Watery, the key sign of an oxygen starved bottle... Some wines need to breathe... Some don't. This one does. Just a little... A baby's breath... Well actually, I dipped an aero latte in it and gave it a whirl until it developed a rich creamy head and Wow! This little wrinkly, raisinated tot matured into Barolo! With roses and tar and terra cotta earthiness and a palate to match. What a surprise!

Impressively delicate and accommodating vis a vis the many furiously hard Nebbiolo out there from 2011. Crunchy rhubarb, green strawberries, chipped slate.

Tar and roses. Savory. Wonderful bitter component to balance.
