Andrew Jefford: Relatively deeply colored: a clear deep red. Distracting, intriguing scents: blood, meat, tangerine peel, moist tobacco, sweet compost. Mouth-filling and richly constituted, with ample soft tannins. The flavors are ripe, chunky, chewy: big slices of soft, dripping Nebbiolo fruit. Even some melting dark chocolate in the aftertaste. A totally delicious drink: How often can you say that about Barolo? 88
