14.5% abv. This comes from Langhe, which is part of the larger area of Piedmont, Italy which houses the regions of Barolo and Barbaresco. In fact, this is made from grapes grown just over the border from Barolo, and thus may be considered a baby Barolo.
c- dusty red, dark orange edges.
a- roses first. Violet, tar, red fruits, very floral.
f- confirms the aroma. Great concentration, exceedingly long finish (hours really). Very good.

On a side note, I got to taste a Barolo by a famous producer at work a few days later, and this blew it out of the water at around half the price(17 vs 36+)! It definitely evolved in the glass, so it would be worth it to buy a case and enjoy it for years to come.
