Tomato stem, clove, mushroom, game, and thyme. Still searing acid and slightly softened tannins.

Clearly the winner of day one, from a high-elevation hamlet in the commune of Barolo, this shows the "feminine" side of Barolo, and not at all lacking for guts or complexity

—@ Herbsaint nola This drank remarkably well for a young Barolo. Almost Burgundian.... very light on its feet, with some tannic grip and very fresh tasting. Delicious wine.

Brick red fading into brown. Aromas of black and white teas, rose and hibiscus petals, dried cherries, dried leaves, chalk, and clay. Loving the earthiness and complexity.

Dried cherry, leather, caramel/butterscotch, tannins very well integrated, with a long, savory finish
