Tasting notes
Lovely light garnet colour. Fresh and light: this is on its toes. And in the mouth, this is seductive from the start. Fresh sweet fruit which then turns savoury – more serious – then finishes with a fine structure. This is fresh and approachable though serious nonetheless. Bright and energetic.

Barolo. Concentrated ruby with broad orange-tinged rim. Vigorous resin and cherry nose. Sweet strawberry fruit on the palate with waves of grainy tannins. Tangy acidity turns up on the finish. Long and still a little unsettled. (WS)
Healthy mid ruby with orange tinges. Ripe, lifted nose with hints of fruit cake and cherry. Well focused. Wonderful lightness and quite tannic at the same, but not overpoweringly so. Approachable but certainly has some potential. Tangy sweet-fruit finish. (WS)
