N: Decanted 3 hrs. Reddish brown. Big cherry liqueur nose, chocolate, leather. the woods, autumnal spice. I detect French barrique. P: Classic young Barolo, lots of mouth filling , Dark cherries, cocoa, herbs, cheek gripping tannins. You can sense the barrique but it’s not overdone. W Bolognese, it’s really nice. My thought is that many of the ‘16’s were designed for earlier drinking, esp. w the use of barrique. I reduced my score a couple pts. after extended time out.The fruit didn’t cover the wood. A trifle disappointed.
