2000-expressive aromas include distinct floral notes, spiced fruit and a touch of earth. Lovely texture, fullish with fine tannins. #delicious with classic Nebbiolo fruit, spice, earth and only a hint of alcohol. Very long. With proper cellaring, may improve for 5+ years.

Medium deep ruby , quite young looking . Some dry , wood spice at first then raspberry, red cherry . Quite sweet on the palate , cherry , touch of anis and mint . Quite rich and generous , firm gritty tannins , touch of alcohol warmth noticeable . Good balanced acidity . Showing pretty young still , s bit rustic in style , showing the warmth of the vintage . Needs a bit more time , better in 3–5 years and will last well a further 5-8

@Delectable Wine this is the 85 riserva of the Vigna D’La Roul.

Just opened. This s going to be outstanding. More life and vibrancy than many 85s I’ve had.

A tad less glorious than the Big d’Big. Similar taste profile. No rush.

A glorious Barolo. Rich in fruit, nice acidity with fine tannins mid palate with dusty firm tannins on the finish.
