Tasting notes
The 1995 Barolo is an elegant, light-styled example with attractive, smoke-tinged, herbaceous, cherry fruit, medium body, and an earth-driven personality. Moderate tannin in the finish suggests aging is necessary, but this wine does not have the stuffing for extended cellaring. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.

Medium color. Cooler aromas of strawberry, dried flowers and oak spice; comes across as a bit greener than the '94. Fairly thick and sweet, with a saline impression of extract. But a bit dry on the back half. Tannins are rather soft and sweet, but give a dustier impression than the '94.
