Still in its youth. Nose a bit reticent. Shyly reveals a little sous bois, mushroom, earthy spice, and intense cherry extract. Palate is powerful. Loads of tannin, acid, and body. You feel it more than taste it. Nice length as it fans out after swallowing. Kind of ponderous before dinner, but in a couple of hours it should go well with my manzo bolito. 9.2+

Modern styled barolo, and not particularly interesting.

Roses, tar, tobacco, not fruity. Med-full body, dry and quite tannic. We had it with northern Italian lasagna w bolenese sauce and bechamel. Probably spelled wrong, but one of the best meals ever. A perfect wine, could’ve aged even longer.

Dark cherries and white pepper right off the bat. Smooth tannins, dark chocolate and cedar with some acid that will balance nicely with NY steaks.

Tammi tuo ryhtiä tähän vahvan tanniiniseen ja sopivan hapokkaseen viiniin.
