Good medium red. Cherry liqueur, plum and marzipan on the nose. Richer and thicker than the Vigneto Garretti, with excellent concentration to the flavors of red cherry, redcurrant, tobacco and spices. Tactile, chewy wine with a saline quality and very good energy. Finishes with substantial sweet tannins and lovely length. A classic 2009 Barolo that will give early pleasure but last well.
