This vintage shows less aromatic intensity and a thinner mouthfeel with dry, dusty tannins. The 2014 Barolo is a mid-weight wine with a pretty bouquet that is characterized by smoke, tar, forest floor and dark cola. The main thing missing is the intensity of the primary fruit that comes in short supply in this difficult vintage. The finish is very dry and astringent. Some 20,000 bottles were made. The wine ages in large oak casks for three years.
