Tasting Notes

Rose, iris, wild berry and baking spice aromas merge with scents of new leather and a balsamic menthol note on this stunning and classically crafted Barolo. The structured polished palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, pipe tobacco and licorice framed in tightly knit noble tannins and bright acidity. It's going to just keep getting better and better over the next few decades. Drink from 2023 through 2053.

Monforte d’Alba. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Concentrated ruby. Pretty nose of cherry and dried fruit. Supple and elegant palate with hints of orange and dried fruit. Polished tannins underneath. Long, and set to become more complex with further bottle age.
