With all the excellent recent young Barolo releases lately to try out it’s been a while since I tasted an aged Barolo - within my price point - this is a good refresher of how this wine can mellow out with age.
Spice and dark cherry on the nose. Slow ox for a few hours and filtered some sediment. Earthy dark cherry and cinnamon on the palate, relatively smooth and mouthwatering/tingling with pleasant lingering grippy tannins on the finish.

Very nice, balanced. Surprisingly dark for its age, shows no sign of fading.
