This young buck still has the tannin to rip your mouth apart. Still developing. Nice dried red fruit character.

Terrific wine. Fully mature. Tannins are mostly resolved. Resiny, balsamic. Long finish.

Highly fragrant rose petal nose with deep red cherry, truffle, mushroom, anise, shifting to blueberry. Some alcohol on the nose as well. Thick and smooth on the palate, with surprisingly big, drying tannins on the finish. Good length of ripe red cherry on the finish along with wood notes. Took two hours to open up. A bit opulent, but a Barolo through and through.

Unbelievably classic. The mushroom, truffle, and red fruit just dances and the acid and tannin structure is so interesting. Reminds me why I fell in love with Barolo!
