JD91+: Pouring a youthful red color, the 2021 Barolo is not shining as brightly at this tasting and has more muted notes of mushroomy earth, worn leather, raspberries, and thyme. The palate is elegant and finessed with notes of apricot floral tones coming through, and it has ripe tannins and an elegant feel floating through the finish. The palate suggests there’s more to this wine, and it would be great to taste this again if possible. Drink 2025-2035.
