Aggressively tannic, even 3 days after opening. I’d wait about 10 more years on this one 😂

Round 2! Light for a Barolo, still tight, but great acid and tannic grip. Brighter red fruit and earthy notes dominate. :)

Glossy and modern, but delicious.

2019 vintage. Very dry, dusty and lacking fruit or balance currently. Needs about two days open or 12-15 years to come around. Ain't got that kinda time. 3.27.24.

Quite bright ruby red , white garnet rim . Sweet cherry , floral, cedar , very fruit forward . On the palate quite fruit forward again with nice cherry and strawberry , with spiced orange peel . Sweet but quite noticeable tannin , ok acidity . Ok length , enjoyable now and over the next 10 years or so .

Even with a long decant, this '13 still drank a bit tannic. Mellowed some but didn't provide the elegance I had expected from the prior ratings.
