This is a Barolo that shows iodine, plums and hints of hazelnut. Full body, with velvety tannins and a fresh finish. I love the texture to this. Better in 2015.
Rich and sumptuous, boasting cherry, licorice, leather and tar aromas and flavors. This is backed by moderate acidity and firm tannins, with lingering tobacco and briar accents. 542 cases made.
Supple and generous, with expressive aromatics, pliant fruit and terrific overall balance. The tannins remain a bit firm at this stage. If they soften, the 2009 might merit a slightly higher score... ripe, seductive and nicely balanced.
Delicious aroma of sweet red fruit, lifted & perfumed, just a touch of vanilla. I just want to stay on the aroma, it is so attractive... so expressive... Firm, compact tannins... Masses of pleasure & more to come. Tangy, spicy long finish.
