Classic. Bretts a friend here. Pristine red fruit, rose petals, tabacco, old leather, dried herbs. Silky tannins, long finish.

Decanted for about an hour. Typical Barolo aromas. Wonderful soft, smooth mouthfeel full of dark fruit. Nice, lasting finish.

The nose is classic Barolo, showing dusty cherry, spice, dried floral tones, leather and hints of undergrowth. On the palate, it displayed a feminine structure with pure red fruit and fresh acidity giving way to hints of licorice and spice through the close. Spice notes lingered along with hints of rosy florals.

Very young and barely approachable but with some air it starts to show what it might be: rose, menthol, black tea. red current and strawberry with a note of subtle licorice and even more subtle leather. The sweet red fruited nose is what I love most about Nebbiolo, even if it is accompanied by waves of drying tannins. Lovely potential. See you in 15 years.

Wonderful. Leather, tobacco, floral notes and fantastic bite on the back end.
