Stellar. One of my favorite wines in this week's article on new Barolo releases. Super classic, but will also drink well with minimal cellaring.

Maybe opened early but not by much. Decanted for a couple hours and broke in at the 1 hour mark. Paired well with chicken parm soup and had great tannic backbone but not a ton of fruit. Seemed to get smoother and more elegant as we finished over 4 hours.

This was still youthful & structured that benefited with air showing notes of rich dark fruits, dried herbs, spice, leather & tobacco.

This had lots of structure with silky tannins showing notes of cherry, berry fruits with underbrush, leather, tobacco, spice & floral notes

Very nice Barolo. Complex fruit with good structure and some oak poking through but not in a new way at all. Delicious.

More dark ruby color than translucent brick. Dried flowers, touch of wood and smoke, cranberry, tea, wet fallen leaves on a misty forest floor. More acid and mineral, not as much tar and not as mellow and full as the 2013 Barolo we’ve had. From Flatiron Wines.
