The 2007 Barolo Riserva La Volta is aged in oak cask (50 hectoliters) with a strange floral presence makes me think of pressed violets with some petrol nuances. This still needs much more time to unwind. With its very distinct personality, I wonder if I should lower the scores, as it is pungent, a bit rustic and raw. It is powerful. Drink: 2015-2023.
