More than a 1000 review of this wine, I feel like I'm coming late to the party 😅
The nose felt a bit oxydized at first but it blew up after a while. Then came red cherry, wet forest soil, mushrooms, soy sauce, black tea, almond... Wow the complexity of that nose... The palate is marked by a great acid drive, some fruit, with cherry notes, some tea touches, a good width with some matter and almost a meaty thing, some rather harsh and drying tannins (as one could expect) before a long, very long, meaty, juicy, tannic finish that goes on and on and on. A bit more textual and meaty than I expected, a good experience of a cru barolo that I'd like to revisit in other vintages.
