Ahhhh yes. Such a graceful pretty expression of Barolo. Chambolle like. Nose is all roses, florals, hint of tar and glorious mid season cherries. Wild mint and even tarragon. So complex and graceful. Just gorgeous, nimble and refined. Palate is sappy, delicate, energetic and graceful. Sappy and so dense but a light dense. Packed with cherry and spice. Also that wild mint. Ripe and velvety tannins. Needs some air but it is all there. Nose gets really detailed and deep with air. Gorgeous texture and purity. Really present and grippy fruit. This seems like it needs a few hours and a few years. Long finish. Will see what happens in an hot or two. Solid 9.3 now.
