Wines like this deepen my understanding of fans of Barolo. The nose is vibrant and nuanced all at once, showing cherry, blueberry, flowers, wintermint, mild toast, leaf and tea. The palate is soft and rich, with a silky entry followed by a bright acidic grip that keeps everything lively. It delivers the nose elements with intensity and nice integration, with the structure to improve for several years. This can take on your finest ripe cheeses and truffle sauces with ease.
