Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry and violet followed by
aromas of raspberry, strawberry, vanilla, plum, licorice, tobacco, cocoa,
menthol, lavender and hints of black pepper and mace. In the mouth has good
correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however
balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, good tannins. The finish
is persistent with flavors of plum, cherry, raspberry and strawberry. A
well made wine. This Barolo ages for 18 months in barrique, 9-10 months in
cask followed by 12 months of aging in bottle.
