Terrific bright red fruits backed by anise. Cherries, earth, black tea and a field of violets are all restrained by huge but smooth tannins demanding cellar time or enthusiastic decanting. This is jut a baby, a declassified Barolo that will be approachable in half the time of its big brothers. Drink with truffled cheeses. Highly Recommended (92). DH
