2007 Barolo DOCG Ravera, Piedmont, Italy

Developed, wild-floral and red-berry nose with slightly sharpening alcohol as well as earthy, dried vegetal and almond notes, some tobacco and metallic hints. Also in the mouth already slightly matured, quite warm red fruit, floral tones, a hint of eucalyptus, noticeable alcohol, relatively mellow tannin, a little milk chocolate on the palate, good persistence, not forever deep, some parsley in the background, slight acid bite, first a bit brittle, with air much juicier, slightly compote finish with sweetish wood aromas.
