Still a little tight, but opening up nicely. Cherry, leather, blackberry, good medium tannins…hard to complain about this one

We popped and poured. That seemed to be a mistake as this wine needed more airtime.

It got better with air and it showed some elegance but was not shining.

This is a higher altitude, east-facing single vineyard Barolo from Paolo Scavino. It bursts with a distinctive floral scent and aromas of blackberries, plums, grilled herbs, subtle smoke, truffles and iodine. Full-bodied, the 2018 Ravera shines with remarkable freshness, elegance and polished tannins, finishing long and powerful. A rock solid Barolo. Drink now until 2040.

Probably the best Barolo I've ever had. Tastes like cherry pie. Ripe cherries, baking spices, high acidity, perfect tannic finish. WOW
