The wine has a brick-red colour. Typical nebbiolo-nose with hints of tobacco, cherries, tar and light floral high notes. Good body and acidic Barolo in the mouth. Good concentration, quite open and ready with some tannins in the back, but not much for this grape and appelation. The fruit shows cherries and tobacco. Needs 2-3 more years to gain in depth, but a very good Barolo for a good price.
