A firmly tannic Nebbiolo-based wine that is an excellent choice for the cellar (5-6+ years), and then enjoyable for a decade after. It’s a terrific value for Barolo to boot. Lovely aromas of redcurrant, marzipan, leather and black tea. Dry with very good aroma replays on the palate that sits patiently behind the tannins. This will blossom beautifully in time.

Fine Barolo, typical of the style, though a tad more mellow than expected. Warm, woodsy, fine tannins, and good acidity. Will buy again!

I don't know what exactly I'm smelling or tasting, but the wine is wonderful. An intriguing, complex flavour, grippy tannins, bitter taste that lingers forever. Great match with flat-iron steak.
