The nose stunning, showing intense bright cherry, spice. Tobacco, rose, minerals, black earth. On the palate, '09 vintage-fruit intensity was offset by firm tannin in an unexpectedly classic expression of young Serralunga nebbiolo. Dried cherry, minerals and spice prevailed throughout the finish. This is a beautiful Barolo.

Delicious. Still tannic, would recommend 3+ more years, but tannins are clearly smoothing out. Leather, cinnamon, roses, dust, menthol. Slightly hot. Aroma improved over time (45 minute decant was too little). Finish was a little light, but complexity was medium plus. Dark garnet in color. Paired well with grilled filet, cauliflower rice, beets/kohlrabi.
