Light and soft. Strawberry jam, golden raisins, rose petal tea and a touch of spice. Light tannins.

Light in body, bone dry. Medium acidity and surprisingly light on tannins. ETA: I was hoping food would help it. It didn't. :/

One of our least favorite in the barolo tasting, really thin with some medicinal brett.

Perfect poolside supper. Fresh berries and tar in the tongue. Violets on the nose and tannins in spades. Delicious.

Good notes of leather and chewy raisins on the first sniff. Once it hits the tongue the leather is still there with some dark chocolate and pepper. Very firm tannins and good structure. This one is a keeper.
