Affected by the vintage, this is pretty but lacks tension and drive. Tannins are well-handled but still not up to par with the quality they offered in 2008 or 2010. Still, very enjoyable stuff.

Serious and well crafted, with ripe, sweet fruit and enough acidity to let flavors linger on the classic, structured finish.

Wonderfully ripe and generous, yet classically built-up aromas and flavors.

Pretty good Barolo. More feminine in style. Showing pretty well for a fairly young Barolo.
