Ruby/ brick in color with medium intensity.
Beautiful nose with blue and red fruits, caramel, light oak, cooked cherries, red currants and tobacco leaf.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, earth, chocolates, tobacco, espresso and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 10 year old Barolo is still fresh and vibrant. Delicious and easy drinking with a great mouthfeel. Complex and well balanced. Tangy and interesting.
Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years and beyond.
Gorgeous, elegant and robust. A great sipping wine to share with friends and talk about.

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. — 9 years ago
