Moss, anise, rose. Light berry notes. Leather. Tannins are insistent and the body is poised. Acid is there, too. Lengthy finish.

Dried raisin, bitter almond, pencil lead, rum, dried tobacco leaf, bottled nutmeg, nougat. High acid, alcohol, and tannin. Beautiful complexity from a 5 year old Barolo. Goes great with Osso Bucco and a Gremolata of parsley, lemon zest, and garlic.

A good savoury fragrant Barolo from a good vintage.

Very lovely. I suggest opening up and letting it sit for at least a day. Then the fruits and flowers and earthy goodness really shine! The oxygen also turns those pesky tight tannins so smooth and delicious.
