open an hour, the nose lean but pretty, at 14.5% the alcohol shows up in the nose, pretty rose, plum, tar, still lots of life Mouth has a medium feel with rich sweet tart plum with the leather and nice but drying tannins that carries the finish. The alcohol is the dominate factor that is present in nose, mouth and finish. I do like it but I will not buy any more Barolo with this much alcohol and sit one it for 15 years.

Dark garnet, with plummy and tarry notes that produce sweet and dense impressions on the palate. Excellent length for a regular bottling. Impressive effort and the hit of all Piedmontese wines at our Italian dinner under the stars on the terrace. kept on delivering for 3 hours plus. Had with Umbrian Lasagna...93+ pts

Dark, savory, tasty. This is serious and massive. A bit rustic but enjoyable.
