Classic nose of anise, cherry, incense, roses, and cinnamon. Tannins softened and is drinking really well now.

Even though it still showed some fruity and acidity, this wine should had been at it's best maybe 2 to 3 years ago.

Deep garnet in the glass with a sparkle to it. Fresh and focused-cherry, anise, strawberry and tobacco stay lingering and long. Earthy and woodsy notes also make a showing. Fun wine from La Morra!

Very impressive example of La Morra. Lush and broad with big scale and unending tannins. A testament to the quality of 2010

This will be good in a few years. Decanted for 6 hours and was still a little hot.

Soft and elegant. Showing why La Morra is so approachable versus some of the Monforte and Serralunga wines.

Very nice wine but definitely a bigger bolder almost new world in style Barolo. Definitely needs time to open up or let it sit in your cellar for a while.

Nicely developed aromas and flavors, this is going places. Good fruit and positive acidity but slightly harsh tannins on the close makes me wonder if it'll ever completely harmonise? Serious wine, though.
