13,5% abv; 41,20€. I liked the 2004 recently - it was pretty much a Barolo lookalike. This 2008 is kind of weird. I thought this wine saw only used wood but this actually smells pretty strongly of barrels. Dark fruit and a bit lactic, too. The palate is better but I do sense quite a bit of oak here, too: nice fresh fruit, good tannins. I think I'll bury my other bottle for a few years in the hopes that the oak aromas disappear. Right now, not my thing, but if this turns into anything like the 2004 this will have been a good buy. Or has this turned into such a modern styled wine that it's time to say good bye to it?
