The colour is murky, faded cherry red with maroon to lightly brownish edges. The nose is pretty, powerful, mysterious and alluring all in one that still does not sum up how amazing this wine smells. Over a 2-3 hour time frame aromas moved from cherry and many spices, to leather and prune onwards to mint/eucalyptus upwards to coffee beans and coconut and spiked dates. The wine is at optimum drinking age, all edges are fully softened in this Barolo and all that remains is a decadent, full flavoured wine that has superb length, astounding complexity and surreal balance. Enough said, the first 100 point wine for the Wine Grail.
100 Points
