Tar is first and foremost right out of the bottle. Clove, rose petals. Black licorice makes an appearance. Nice wine

One immediately notices livelier Nebbiolo aromas, higher acidities, polished fruit. The only downside is a simpler lighter structure. The aroma has a full, continuous range, unreally pure, its perfectionist style could feel clinical but the intensity of fruit and the mastery of winemaking is of the highest order. This has a focus, distinctiveness and definition, the qualities expected from lot of single vineyard Barolo’s but almost always never delivered. The bullet-proof aroma remains stable for three days. Unlike some Barolo’s with out of control acidities, it manages to be bright and pervades the whole structure with consistency of glow.
