Gorgeous nose of black currants, plums, cooked cherries, dried figs, cedar, licorice, vanilla, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth and black pepper.
Full bodied and elegant with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry on the palate with plums, currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, coffee and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and cherries.
This is a delicious Barolo from the great Cannubi Vineyard. Well balanced with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.
This 12 year old is great right out of the bottle. Soft and smooth. Elegant and fruity.
Didn’t need too long to open up. It was shining after 45 minutes in the decanter. Loved the nose here. Delicious stuff.

Peaking now and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Thanks for posting. I’ve accumulated a few bottles from this maker, because the LastBottle folks always seem to have some in their marathon sales. I’ve been pretty pleased with the couple that I’ve opened, though none are 2013s.
