"The excellent 2018 Barolo Riserva 90 Dì has a wonderful fragrance composed of ripe berry, violet, flint, leather, tobacco and underbrush. Firm and elegantly structured, the palate offers cranberry, ripe Marasca cherry, blood orange, crushed mint and star anise before closing on a mineral tang. Tightly woven tannins provide firm support. Drink 2028–2033. Abv: 14.5%"
