Barolo is a struggle to drink young. It needs many year to flush itself out.

This enters round, pleasant and like most young Italian reds falls onto wood plank.

Dry dark cherries, lean blackberries, fresh rhubarb, some dry strawberries, tarriness, meaty tannins, dry tobacco, fresh leather, wood barrel shavings, some anise, understated dark spice, hints of nutmeg, dry, red, dark flowers, nice acidity, well structured, tensioned, balanced and a woody ending.

I would not open this for 15-20 years for its better self, which raises its rating 2-3 points. Still in a primary stage.
