Red Wine	Score: ✧✧✧✧✧

This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined and elegant aromas that start with hints of cherry, violet and raspberry followed by aromas of plum, rose, cyclamen, vanilla, tobacco, licorice, strawberry jam, cinnamon, cocoa, cigar box, mace and menthol. The mouth has very good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well made wine. This Barolo ages for 12 months in barrique followed by 18 months of aging in cask.
