@PantagruelA Trickster's Barolo Tasting

This wine turned out to be the most controversial of the evening. There were debates about whether it had some flaw. Some argued that it was perfectly fine, just distinctive, while others insisted it shouldn't be that way. The discussion centered around a very strong aroma of damp wood. While this scent didn't overpower others and seemed to complement them, it was indeed quite strong.

Nevertheless, the wine was intriguing. It presented a vivid bouquet full of dark chocolate with pepper, red berries, moss, raw wood, and concentrated fruit syrup. On the palate, it was robust, with beautiful red berries, distinctly reduced, and hints of flowers and dry earth. It had a long finish with dry, fairly powerful tannins. It's still too early to drink.
