Licorice, leather, sweet basil. Appropriate for a much needed night off.

If some wine is feminine, this is a warrior princess.

Pretty nose of rose petals and a minimum amount of tar, turned earth and candied orange zest, surprisingly. The palate is very young barolo, which isn't a knock, but also not a compliment.

The tannins are present but soft for the vintage. Enjoy whenever.

At @pubbelly on the 27th. A bit young & a little funky at first, but improved with air. Great w the truffled dishes.

Flashy little Barolo with lots of barrel tones and a fatter fruit profile. Fine grain tannins
