Palate
Classic Nebbiolo: raspberry, plum, rose and pepper with cocoa/chocolate and savoury mineral notes. The 2019 has youthful tension and energy but considerable finesse; the palate is juicy and savoury with structured tannin.

Monster Notes
Barolo at S$97 — now we have my attention. Don't expect soft, fruity red wine. Nebbiolo has acidity and tannin and sometimes needs a bit of patience. But that's also why it's so good with rich food. Give this two hours of air, get some braised beef or roast duck and suddenly S$97 looks very sensible.
