I always hate opening wine like this as it’s several years too soon, but it comes with the territory, and I’m pleased to inform you that a beautiful future is in store for this already elegant and expressive bottle. Beautiful cherry and blueberry fruit are already showing, and typical youthful Barolo acidity is on full display, carrying those flavors into the distance now, and making for a wine that will have an overnight long finish when it reaches full maturity — in fifteen years or so. Bravo!
