2 hour decant but needed more. Cherries, Tannic, a bit astringent.

Mar 22nd, 2021Also a 90, but the IGT bottling. Less balanced than the 90 Barolo Arborina, but still showing very well, with loads of red berry and sour cherry fruit offset by acidity that is a bit astringent.

Impressive concentration, nice evolutionary tones, but the sweetness (presumably of the oak barrel, or late date of he harvest) made me abandon the wine after the first glass. Second day, no improvement. No subtle Nebbiolo fruit at the core, no freshness. A wine to impress rather than enjoy.
