Estimate
Enchanting aromas of flowers like violets and lemon blossom, with raspberries and cranberries. Full-bodied yet focused and framed with a structure that builds on your palate and grows and grows, yet it remains fresh and vivid. The tannins are energetic and so, so long... Fascinating. Thoughtful wine.
...opens with an appealing rusty scent which mingles with macerated cherry and balsamic herbs...vertical in character, with more of a red-fruit profile compared to the broader, palate-spanning, dark-fruited Ornato. Dusty tannins and sapid red and black cherry at the core are surrounded by flecks of orange peel, iron, salt, herbs, black pepper and oak.
...shows silky or velvety tannins...lifted in terms of aromas, with bright raspberry and blue flowers...open but translucent quality...elegant and undertone personality.
...unfurls with a medley of ripe plum and cherry, underpinned by the soft perfume of blue violets and rosebuds, with sandalwood, wild herbs, and roasted shiitake adding depth. On the palate, red fruits shine through a refined and silky structure, flanked by a rich tapestry of savory spices and a hint of briny minerality.
...fantastic nose with spicier notes of fresh red cherries, incense, candied roses, fresh sage, and peppery spice. Elegant, with fine tannins and mouthwatering freshness...ripe but very pure, with a long, clean finish.
...rich...dense matrix of tannins and lively acidity uplifting its cherry, menthol, mineral and spice flavors...good viscosity midpalate...finishes long and detailed.
...very soft wine...good depth...easygoing style...undeniably attractive Barolo.
Brooding, intense cherry nose with savoury-spice notes. Sappy, juicy cherry fruit with a layer of grainy tannins. Very long and well-balanced.
