Estimate
It opens with heady scents of eucalyptus, pine forest, hay, new leather and lilac. Extremely elegant, the savory, vibrant palate exhibits red cherry, juniper berry and star anise set against taut, refined tannins and bright acidity.
Pure, yet savory, with a stony, mineral punch to the orange peel, strawberries and dried herbs...elegant but gutsy flavors of minerals and fruit, together with firm tannins that show Barolo etherealness and power at the same time.
...big structure, ample but contained power and lots of black fruit and licorice.
This red packs loads of floral, strawberry, cherry and white pepper aromas and flavors. Slim and fruity for the most part yet with a solid underlying structure. Austere for now on the finish, but well balanced overall.
Aromatically expressive and gracious... Sweet dried cherry, mint, tobacco, spice, licorice and rose petal all open effortlessly in the glass.
Displays the intense fragrance so typical of the 2018 vintage and with plenty of concentration underneath. Supple fruit layered with crunchy tannins and ripe, appetising acidity. Lots of stuffing and grip.
