Popped and poured. Tar and tart dark fruits on the nose. On the palate, 90%+ dark chocolate, espresso, dark fruits. Huge tannins and waves of acid...massive structure and fairly powerful. I didn’t really expect this from a 2014. I love this and it’s definitely worthy of some cellar time.

A darker side of Nebbiolo emerges from the 2014 Barolo Baudana. Powerful but also supple, the 2014 is a wine of pure, arresting beauty. Sweet red cherry, kirsch and floral notes meld together in a striking, textured Barolo that is a joy to taste, even at this early stage. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018)

I freaking love this….as usual Barolo’s are under rated on this app.
