A touch of medicinal herbs, cherries and some smokey elements come together in this tasty, drink-me-now Barolo. A touch faded, brick color, and a dried fruit quality points towards a shortish life ahead. No matter. This is one for now!

A wonderful Barolo from Bruno Giacosa. Light to medium crimson with a tawny rim. Savoury with balsamic notes. The high tannin high acid of young Barolo has softened at 7 years and this Wine has integrated beautifully. Nothing wrong with the Wines of Sicily and Puglia but this is a nice return to the King of Italian Wine. Excellent match with Carbonara and cured Pork cheek at Roscioli in Rome.

Little young and not showing us much. Fruit isn’t that pronounced and not as much structure- flat comes to mind

Obviously too young to truly rate/judge, but shows good structure, tannins and acid, just tight fruit and tannins. Will try another in 5 years
