Tasting notes from Terroir Sense:

"Gorgeous bright medium-pale red color. Herbs and minerals dominate on the nose, with the clean red cherry and berry notes not as apparent at first, emerging with plenty of aeration. Then very 2018 in the mouth, with sharp vibrant and savory nuances of underbrush and licorice; once again, the Nebbiolo Rosé (clone) sweetness and inner-mouth perfume of fruit emerges with air. The aftertaste is long, smooth and savory, with a hint of herbal bitterness on the back end. The herbal note dies down with plenty of aeration: if you prefer your Barolos on the fruitier side, then decanting a few hours ahead is absolutely necessary with this 2018 Barolo. Drinking window: 2026-2036."
