Big tannins, high acid, violets and roses, sour black cherry, rhubarb... all the hallmarks of a great Barolo. At this age it’s got some leather, but there will be more tertiary notes at year 10. A Barolo this big should be good for the long haul. No faults, traditionally produced, delicious... drinking now with the fruit of 2013.

Tasted at the Pittsburgh wine festival. I’ll try to rate more of the wines I tasted but for now, here’s my fave Barolo of the night. 🌹 #pghwinefestival

Wow cherry and almond and hay. A bit burgundy with a heat side. Superb palate with a strong acid backbone, some superb grip, a subtle matter with a lot of complexity. Harsh tannins. Long fruity finish with a bit of a drying effect from the tannins. This is good !

Terrific barolo. A bit of a youngster - had it decanted for about 30min (probably needs at least double that) - but it was excellent. Great earthiness coupled with aromas of dried black cherries, violet, and dried currants, the tannins are pretty intense but paired perfectly with a bolognese. Excellent restaurant in Gilford, NH!
