Estimate
Excellent...harmonious power
A gorgeous nose of orange peel, plums and light walnuts. Some wet earth. Full to medium body with a compacted center palate. A tight ball of ripe, fine tannins. Minerals and hot stones underneath. Serious structure.
Floral and mineral overtones add to an impression of brightness, yet there is plenty of underlying tannin and overall structure....the wine is surprisingly accessible in the early going,
Seductive and silky expression that flows gracefully over the palate with power and determination. The nose is expressive...the mouthfeel is of special interest. This beautiful Barolo already shows stunning texture, richness and integrity
Richly textured and spiced, this red features cherry, licorice, tar and leather flavors. Direct and almost fleshy, with a lingering finish that echoes leather, tar, tobacco and cocoa notes. A firm grip of tannins seals the deal.
