This is why I love Barolo. First coravined in 2013, again several times in 2014, finally popped the cork.

In a state that I feel like I'm interrupting the evolution of this wine. It looks like pale red Nebbiolo, but has darker fruited notes across the nose & palate. Light tarry/earthy character with some smoky truffle secondary notes emerging. Acidity is in front of tannins on the structure front, but that backbone and power are persistent. Nearly age 20 & showing quite well.
