Barolo 'Ornato' 2016

Deep young garnet; aromas of morel cherry, tobacco, nutmeg and oregano. Medium-full with excellent concentration, this has a rich, multi-layered palate, firm tannins, very good acidity, excellent persistence and nicely integrated wood notes. This is clearly a wine that displays a sense of place, as well as impressive complexity and the backbone for long-term aging. The herbal notes are a bit strong, however. Give time to round out; peak drinking in 20 years plus.
