Quite deep brick-red coloured, red core and browning rim. Complex and earthy nose with hints of tar, cherries and a touch of oxydation. Powerful and concentrated wine. Matured earthy and complex fruit, but with some oxydation. Some tannins in the finish.
Good and mature Barolo with slight oxydation and a bit lacking in floral depth.
