A bit more modern Barolo than I might prefer but with nice body and color. A bit too much coffee and chocolate / mocha. Still good dark fruits, anis / licorice and tar. Served with a New York Strip steak, sautéed spinach and sautéed mushrooms. Interestingly, bottle label says 2007, cork is stamped 2006.

Distinct liquorice and tobacco. Light body with a fine, beautiful dryness. Praise barolo!

Leather, smoked sage, fennel, rosemary with bitter orange, tart cherry and tons of spice. Very classic expression of La Morra with a dollop of new oak slapped on top.

Too young needs time to settle down tannins and acid on fleek.

Still some grip here, but sippable without food. Beautiful expression of roses, licorice, and a hint of leather. Could age more but you wouldn't regret opening it now. Definitely heat so I would be wary of making this an aperitif
