Opened too young; lovely and exceptionally made wine. Brickish red/brown. I let decant for a loooong time. Lots of cranberry and red fruit, some herbs, clay, faint cedar and tobacco. The acidity was med-high, but the tannins really softened out with aeration. I'd say this is still developing flavors and will be 95+ in a decade. — 2 months ago
Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.
Beautiful nose of flowers, raspberries, earth, light herbs, light wood and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with mild complexity and a harsh mouthfeel.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This young Single Vineyard Barolo feels big and robust, but looks lighter than it feels. Very tasty though.
The 2019 Barolo vintage is less approachable now, but it's only going to get better from this point.
Needs a few years to mature in the bottle, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years. A good food wine right now.

Concur with the WS review below, although I dropped my score one point and would add that the wine presently requires hours of natural aeration—no less than four in the bottle! We tested the use of a Vinturi, which produced unsatisfactory results. Perhaps decanting would take less time. Paired with pistachio encrusted rack of lamb.
WS: 92. A fragrant and elegant red, delivering tuberose, strawberry, cherry and grassy aromas and flavors. Taut and balanced, with bright floral and red fruit notes gracing the lingering finish. Best from 2024 through 2038. 375 cases made, 150 cases imported. — 5 days ago
A mid cherry red in colour. Aromatics of red fruits, menthol and touches of tar and roses. Light to medium bodied on the palate - surprising for a Barolo with medium plus intensity. Different and interesting in a good vintage from an excellent producer. Next in a year. — 3 months ago
Picked this up at Motor City Wine in Detroit and am obsessed. Invigorating mouthfeel, complex flavor, light enough to sip and lovely with a slight chill. This will be one I keep my eyes peeled for on every shopping trip for years to come!! — 14 days ago

This 10 year old Barolo is still fresh and vibrant. Delicious and easy drinking with a great mouthfeel. Complex and well balanced. Tangy and interesting.
Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years and beyond.
Gorgeous, elegant and robust. A great sipping wine to share with friends and talk about.
