This elegant Barolo is highlighted by pretty cherry and berry fruit

freshly sliced fennel

followed by a kiss of phenolic bitterness and a soft leesy quality over the persistent

candied licorice and black cardamom

but it also has the pedigree and beautiful inner structure for long cellar aging

Henri Magnien, Gevrey Chambertin Lavaut St Jacques Vintage:2018 This elegant Barolo is highlighted(from a . 26 ha holding). A cool and decidedly floral inflected nose speaks of a spicy blend of both red and dark currant along with plenty of sauvage hints. There is again very good intensity to the bigger bodied and more muscular medium weight plus flavors that brim with both minerality and dry extract on the moderately austere, beautifully long, serious and built to age finish. At least some forbearance required.
