Tasting notes
The 2014 Barolo is an accessible, mid-weight wine with varietal aromas of wild berry, smoke, forest floor and grilled herb. This wine washes over the palate with silky intensity and fine tannins that already show a very good level of integration. I would wait a few more years to enjoy this bottle, but ultimately this wine can be consumed in the near or medium term. It already shows very nice balance at this young age. Bottle production is 50,000 units strong.

Lovely tar and rust aromas with very fine, sandy tannic grip that is refreshed by bright acid. Moderate floral fragrance on the finish. (RH)
Serralunga d’Alba. Tasted blind. Mid ruby with bright orange rim. Very tight and backward on the palate. Beautifully captured, juicy sour-cherry fruit and waves of powdery tannins. Impressive for the vintage. (WS)
The 2014 Barolo is a wine of sublime elegance, finesse and nuance. The level of detail here is quite striking. Fragrant and lilting in the glass and deceptively medium in body, this pristine Barolo is all class. Readers who can find it should not hesitate, as it is superb, not to mention one of the best straight 2014 Barolos I tasted.
