Not as dense in colour as I was expecting. On swirling quite tawny on the rim. Aromas of dry red cherries, menthol and a touch of leather. Medium bodied for a Barolo. It does finish with dry dusty persistent tannins. An enjoyable Barolo in the mid to lighter style. Certainly not for long keeping. Went well with homemade pasta.

Pretty reined in, though there is plenty of ripe red fruit and potpourri in the mid palate and finish. Nice structure overall. Will probably be ready in the next year or so.
