Incredibly youthful. Classic Barolo aromas and flavors. Lovely balance and texture. Should evolve beautifully

Extremely tight and unyielding now but with solid promise with 10 more years of age. Tight black earth and black licorice overtones. Brooding and intense but relatively fine tannic structure.

Earthy (of course). Cherries, raspberries, strawberry, leather, and tobacco. Outstanding, and just coming into its own.

Maraschino cherry on nose. Chewy, long finish. Mistaken for a Barbaresco. Lovely Giacosa! 2001 vintage on 1/5/19 Nebbiolo tasting.
