2006 Vigna Merenda from the Sarmassa hill. First of a four-pack. Gave it a quick aeration. Fragrant nose, whiffs of raspberry, loads of dark cherry. A little alcohol on the nose. Served a bit cold at first, but nice flavors of bright cherry, anis / licorice. Tight and still young. Next night after more time to breathe, much softer: more what seems to be expected from the Vigna Merenda. Glad I have a few more to work through over the next several years.

Exactly what'l you'd expect from classic Barolo. Some dried fruit, licorice but not too sweet at all. Still young, but drinks really well. Decant
