The waiter said that barolos take 4 years to mature, and we think that this one might have needed more time. But nonetheless, the final flavor was amazing! It was fun to truly notice the large changes the wine went through as it sat. Starts off light and airy, pretty uninteresting but with a deep smell. Then the tannins start to come through and by the end I learned to take tiny sips because it felt so “thick”! Barolos came recommended by Pieter’s dad, and this one was our very first one, so we didn’t know what to expect. It was a light ruby color that was beautiful. Very fun!
