Other ratings called this “closed” which I completely agree with. The dense flavors took forever to open up. I popped it at noon for a 7:30p dinner of chick pea and potato pasta, and it was still developing. Highly tannic, but so layered if you have the patience. Darker fruits, yet still some tart red cherry, lavender, rose petals, and ashy dryness. Complex, classic Barolo (from my limited experience). I’ll save my second bottle to see how it develops. — 2 months ago

Cavallotto was just singing last night. The plush, fruity qualities of the ripe vintage against fine tannin and vibrant acidity. 2 of 3 opened last night. — 2 years ago

Surprisingly good and drinkable for its age, yet also not exceptional. The fruit is alive and in balance but short. — 3 years ago
