Ripe red cherries, a hint of tar layered with rose petals followed by a firm finish coupled with fresh tobacco. The wine is still quite young and needs to settle down. Alcohol in this wine is quite high.

New straight Barolo bottling from Clerico and a well done job at that. Accessible early with a good decant. Will be terrific in a couple of years.

Гранат. Спелое, зрелое, открытое, с ванилью и сглаженным танином. Готовое, но есть ли потенциал?

Fabulous. This man knows how to employ a barrique. Red and black fruit, some sweet spice and pipe tobacco, crushed violets.

Blend from estate owned vineyards. Rounded and broad but still a baby. Massive structure that needs to calm down

Putting on weight and intensity. Not subtle but powerfully beautiful

Roses, lilac, strawberries, cherries, and black pepper with nice tannic grip. Lovely.

Strawberry with a bit of menthol, balanced and robust tannins. Best of the bunch at this tasting.

This was an absolutely beautiful Barolo that is drinking well now. Nose of red fruits, tar, new leather, cedar and crushed purple roses. It's a riper version of a Barolo for sure. Structurally, the wine had a nice balance of acidity and tannin, and the palate confirmed the elegant red fruit and floral notes. Glad I still have a bottle left of this. Should develop nicely.
