This Barolo Monprivato from the 2014 vintage, while from a challenging year, is expected to display a beautiful balance of elegance and structure. On the nose, look for complex aromas of red cherry, raspberry, dried roses, and violet, underpinned by hints of tar, licorice, and damp earth. The palate should be firm and savory, with high acidity and robust yet fine-grained tannins providing a long, persistent finish. Expect secondary notes of truffle and leather to develop with further aging.
