Pulled the cork and let sit for 2 hours. Decanted and poured. Aromatics galore with mild tannins which I have found unusual for young Barolos — 6 hours ago
It’s an easy drinking vintage while still retaining classic Vietti hallmarks of minerality and soil. Fruit forward of purple plum and black cherry chased with minerals, some vanilla oak, medium tannin and good acidity that still breaks through to make it refreshing. Great for pizza and meat plates. A definite recommendation — 2 months ago
This is a great Vietti with its aromatics of cherry, berry, licorice spice, menthol, rose petal & tar. Youthful with many yrs ahead. — 4 days ago

Medium light ruby , garnet wide light garnet rim . On opening this was very fruit forward , strawberry, orange rind, raspberry and with some floral, liquorice and spice hints . On the palate again fruit forward , sweet strawberry , raspberry and some red cherry . Just balanced alcohol with fresh acidity . Tannins were quite rounded and sweet , it seemed to lack a little structure . Coming back to this a day later there is much more tannin which is ripe but gritty and more structure noticable . Bizarre how this happens quite often with young Barolo, they appear lighter and more fruit forward than they actually are on opening . A bit more serious too, showing more nuances . Herbal hints , with lightly smoky darker cherry , liquorice and stony, mineral hints on the medium length finish. You could drink this now (if you do what I did last night and just pop and pour), but will be better in 5 years or so and last well a further 5-10. — 4 days ago
