Young and austere. Roses, tar and cherry on nose. Tannic notes of cherry, strawberry and rhubarb. Still a baby from a great year I assume this will open up nicely.

Fundamentally sound, however seems slightly hallow, complexity is medium with not much dimension. Shows sappy black cherry and anise finish is short. ....needs time?

Day 1 was tight as a fish's arse. Tannin, acid and more tannin. There were some pretty floral aromatics but it was really austere in the mouth and not all that enjoyable. I drank half of it anyway.
Day 2 is a different wine. The pretty florals have gone and are now richer strawberry and chocolate aromas, menthol and some faint spice. Then darker fruits, terracotta, spicy cedar. Finishes long, puckering and quite moreish. Acid sticks out a little but the potential is clear. This needs a real good decant or at least another 5 years.

2010 vintage. Black tea, strawberry, spice rhubarb. Very enjoyable Barolo. Not necessarily worth the price.
