Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Elegant, perfumed nose of cherries, sawdust, wet earth, some flowers but I think more will come with air. Really layered and perfumed. Opens up impressively over 10 minutes. Palate is juicy and concentrated with impressive fruit, but has that lean 14 character but it’s balanced and pure. 14 is like 08 in Burgundy or 98. They will come around. Nice fruit saturation. Good length and cling. Nice density as it airs. Needs to get some more finesse to be great. More of a dense powerful Barolo but with really impressive fruit. Seems packed with a tight core. This will open. 9.2 for now. Pretty fierce tannins coming through now.
