Estimate
The wine delivers a dark and brooding personality with dark berry aromas, cassis, licorice, tar, cola and enormous complexity throughout. The wine shows a stunning evolution in the glass.
This is solid, offering ripe cherry, raspberry, leather and spice flavors. Firmly structured, with fine balance and a fresh finish. The aftertaste evokes spice and mineral.
Some slightly rough edges remain in a Barolo that is mostly about power, but there is also an excellent sense of harmony. Sage, rosemary, new leather and game flow through the finish.
