This monumental Barolo Riserva from a top vintage (2016) offers an incredibly complex bouquet of dried roses, tar, licorice, and red cherry, evolving with age to reveal notes of forest floor, truffle, leather, and sweet spices. On the palate, it is powerful yet exquisitely elegant, with a full body, profound depth of flavor, and layers of red fruit, savory herbs, and earthy undertones. The tannins are firm but refined, providing exceptional structure, balanced by high acidity that ensures freshness. The finish is remarkably long, persistent, and nuanced, echoing the aromatic profile with mineral and savory notes.
