Give this lots of air to get the loamy, black-fruit aromas with hints of lightly toasted vanilla oak. On the palate it’s full-bodied with very fine, firm tannins and a highly concentrated bead of lovely crushed black fruit and oak that lasts a long time. This will gain even more complexity as it opens up with time. Super Barolo, but be patient. Decant to drink now, but best after 2023.
