Seems like a more modern/international style of Barolo. Big upfront plum and blackberry fruit. Tar, some tobacco, and more dark fruit. Explosive and surprisingly rich on the palate. As the wine comes up to room temperature, the oak treatment becomes more evident. Sweet and ripe tannins, but this remains dry and doesn’t show any overt sweetness or jamminess. Overall, this is good, but I am unsure how it will age. Seems a little low on acidity to make old bones, but I have 5 left, so I’ll keep trying one every year or two.

I am not a professional wine taster, nor do I have any professional training in the wine trade. I am a wine enthusiast who has spent countless hours tasting wines of many different styles. My palate is not aligned with a single wine critic, and I call all wines "as I taste them". My site is a source of tasting notes and wine recommendations as well as warnings without conflict of interest. You'll just have to figure out how your palate aligns with mine. My palate generally tends to veer towards Old-World wines that put a premium on terroir and lovely balance and finesse, rather than raw power...please keep that in mind as you read my notes.
