Shows a slight overripe/underripe character but I would not be at all surprised if this wine came into better harmony with another year or two of bottle aging

Brooding aromas of crushed black fruits

compelling finish that just won't quit

It feels flatter and less vibrant that I would have hoped

Paolo Scavino, Barolo other_regions_italy Shows a slight overripe/underripe characterThis is austere and compact, with an earthy underbrush element complementing the dried black cherry, anise, tar and tobacco flavors. The persistent finish shows severe tannins. Best from 2017 through 2029. 1,900 cases made, 950 cases imported. BS
