    Burnt cherry pie, baked dark berries, road tar, green herb. Tannins are pronounced but not debilitating. I liked this slightly unpolished, roguish barolo. Middle and finish are shallow but I expect this wine will flesh out more in 2-3 years and gain a few points beyond an 88+. (88 pts.)

I have this very same bottle - now I know to perhaps wait a bit, let it flesh out a little further, as it’s not a cheap bottle of wine, so 88 pts would be somewhat disappointing.
