Lighter than expected, but very well balanced and ready to drink

Still very oak-driven on the nose. Dark fruit with some high-toned aromatics as an accent.

Beautiful brick red rim. Nose of leather, leather and cedar. Wow. Somewhat lacking in fruit but this is beautiful for all of the secondary notes. Dry tannins, shorter finish but absolutely delicious. My second nature barolo and experience was a small life lesson what age can do for this wine.

Pomegranate, black currant, dried leaves, and leather. Tannins still super grippy, but just showing signs of age.

Very nice wine. Floral, berries and a bit of tar on the nose or as Barb says licorice. Taste is well integrated with nice berries. Good long finish with a bit of an acid kick and some tannins still around. Overall getting us ready for our trip to Italy.

Great wine. Even though it was 11 years young would hold for at least another 10!!
