Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Really pretty nose that is super floral. Complex cherries. Confectionary aromas. Minty. Menthol. Really pretty and very nuanced. Bright and high toned. Wow, what a terrific palate. Tannic but sweet and super juicy. Really complex and deep. Lovely balance and freshness. This is really really close to the 16. What a talent. Finish is a mile long. Very very impressed. This tastes and smells like it’s from a cooler vintage than 17. Wonderful texture, structure, depth and sweet tannins and fruit. Endless finish. This is on the verge of a 9.5.
9.4 to 9.5 now with air. What a talent this guy is. So elegant and complex. Just stunning. This is better than his 16.
Nose is so floral and enveloping. A stunner.

Awesome aromas. Insane florals. So aromatic. Wow. Just mesmerizing. Tar, leather but fresh and dried roses just dominant in a very good way. Some licorice and dried tea leaves as well. Very complex and appealing. Autumn air and leaves and insane nuance and lift to the nose. Wow. Palate is supremely elegant and has wonderful red cherry fruit and gorgeous velvety tannins. So precise and balanced. What a value. Persistent and long. So so well made. Concentrated and structured but so easy to drink as that is 16. Structured and easy to drink. What fruit and depth. Sappy. Really long.
