Approachable, lively, and easy drinking in a way I don’t normally associate with Barolo.. Concise and focused with a lot of flavor. Sharp acidity contrasted with delightful fruit, but it’s not in any way astringent as I sometimes find Barolos to be. This was a 2015, so it had some bottle age which may have softened it a bit. Overall, maybe not the purest or most characteristic expression of Barolo, but a pleasure to drink, and it’s far more enjoyable than many Barolos I’ve had in the past. A good intro to Barolo, and a bargain to boot.
