Nose is hot a f. Some cherry. Some tomato. What a mess. Hot and weird.

I usually like Barolo from La Morra but this was somewhat of a dud. Very surprising as 2016 was an excellent year. It was unidimensional from opening to a few hours later. Shy nose, dark cherry, licorice and more mineral than undergrowth on the palate, and the finish was the highlight with a long leathery finish where hints of spice finally appeared. Maybe an off bottle given the ratings?
