Magic in a bottle! Still tight but hints of tea, violet flowers, and dark cherry.

Tar and dried rose petal with dried red cherry exotic Oriental spice and truffle really opened up after an hour in the glass. Still a bit tannic with pretty nuance and spice very fresh needs another 10 years tar and truffle notes the essence of ginestra. Finish 50+ most excellent

Nose is pine and cherry flower.

Palate is young. Grabby tanins.

Good sour cherry finish. Very good

This needs 3 years. I think it will be interesting.

Barolo doesn’t get much better than this. Soft, sweet nose, confirming dark cherry fruit with minerality, spices, a touch of tar and a finish that goes on for awhile. This was quite ready but will last for years. I’d buy more of these.

#amis #barolo one of the best I've had. Strong truffle and must with a whiskey finish.
