Estimate
A Barolo with such intense, fine-grained tannins, yet it’s so deep and poised with polish and energy. Full-bodied, yet it remains agile and layered. Strawberries, bark, hazelnuts and hints of rose petals.
All about finesse, this ethereally elegant red opens with scents of rose, crushed mint, red berry and hints of new leather. The polished, precise palate features strawberry compote, spiced cranberry, star anise and a dash of white pepper. It's well balanced, with fresh acidity and taut, refined tannins.
Savoury-sweet minerally nose but not really open yet. Hints of leather. Soft, succulent fruit palate and with bags of fine coating tannins. Very slow to show anything but this is perfectly balanced and 'clicks' only on the long finish.
