Deep red colour. Intence nose with a lot of high notes. Hints of cherries, roses and a touch of tar and mushrooms. Good body, but a more elegant style of Barolo. A bit feminine in style. Decent concentration and acidic wine with some tannins in the finish. Needs 3-4 more years and will keep a long time. Very good, but expensive.
