Estimate
...Black cherry, spice, leather, smoke and licorice all run through this ample, full-bodied Barolo...muscular, virile style.
...aromas of ripe red berries and purple flowers with a balsamic note of eucalyptus. Firmly structured and enveloping, the full-bodied palate delivers raspberry compote, licorice, tobacco and iron alongside a backbone of tightly knit, fine-grained tannins.
Aromas and flavors of medicinal herbs and cherry mingle in this fluid red. Assertive tannins line the finish, yet they are more refined and pointed than rustic. Licorice, mint and tobacco notes complete the profile.
...Firm and fine on the nose. The fruit is really quite evolved already although there is masses of fine, powdery tannin underneath...Precise.
