Barolo with Bae. Olfactory produces dried fruit dominated by cedar dust, cinnamon and clove. Taste gives me dense tobacco (Levi Strauss?), dried berries, raisin. Pretty tannic. Charred and dark finish. Not my normal kind of wine but very interesting. All this after 2 hours open. Excited to see what it does over night.

Strong and vibrant nose featuring hints of roses and ripe/juicy fruits, but also a touch of acetone. Smooth and well-structured body with a firm acidity. Nice oak finish - perhaps also a slight reminder of licorice? Overall, a delicious and rich wine, which continues to open up with more air time.
