Still young. That’s how a Barolo should looks like. Shine red. Great strawberry, vanilla, oak and mint notes. Powerful tannins, great acidity, well balanced, long end in mouth, redberries, mushroom, some earthness and oak!! Great moment :) missed a good steak, strong cheese or a pasta with ragu sauce :)
