May rank even higher after it opens up a bit but classic medium Barolo with flavorful plum and earth flavor. Good start to New Years drink.

Classic medium-full bodied Barolo. Well balanced and the tar/rose aromas really shine. Got this at Whole Foods. Will get it again

A little bit of leather on the nose. Plums and dark fruits on the pallet. A little tight, but not a problem. A hint of mint on the finish. Makes you pucker when you sip it. Good wine. Thanks Keith Soltis!
Tasted again nine months later. (3/24/18). Much less astringent. Wonderful wine! Thank you again, Keith Soltis!

Took a while to come around. Ultimately too much spearmint on finish.

Wonderful plums and dark fruits with a hint of leather on the palate and nose. Enjoyed it with an eggplant-sun dried tomato pasta and chicken sautéed in an Italian odori base. Fabuloso!
