Tasting notes

Brown-red colour. At first the nose is quite oxidative. With time it opens up more. First some earthy notes. Then bright notes of currant, florality, some tar. Light Barolo in the mouth. The fruit is fading and the acidity shines through in the balance. Lots of citrus, florality, currant. Touch og nuts and sweet anise. High acidity. Refreshing style. Light tannins on the back. Light yet typical nebbiolo-toughness. Very mature Barolo on the way down. Drink up. Still good.
