Estimate
Aromas of dried strawberries, citrus fruit, flower sand sandalwood. Full-bodied and really powerful with fantastic layering of fruit and ripe tannins. Strawberries, spices, mushrooms and dried flowers. Superb finish...great Barolo. Really well done.
Oak tones of vanilla and toast are nicely integrated with the floral, red berry, tar, iron and tobacco flavors of this red, which is polished and succulent, showing a mix of fruit, spice and mineral notes mingling on the finish.
...shows ripeness and succulence with dark fruit, bold cherry, raspberry and wild rose...tannins are tame, as is characteristic of fruit...the aromatic complexity of the wine keeps you guessing with each swirl of the glass.
...powerful...with explosive energy... Black cherry, violet, lavender and spice add to a real sense of gravitas...has terrific freshness and persistence...such a gorgeous wine.
