Score: ✧✧✧✧✧ |
Excellent Barolo! The wine has a beautiful and intense garnet red color
and nuances of garnet red, moderate transparency. The nose reveals
personality with intense, clean, pleasing, elegant and refined aromas of
cherry, violet, strawberry jam, raspberry jam and plum jam followed by
good and intense aromas of chocolate, leather, licorice, menthol, tobacco
and vanilla. In mouth denotes a tannic attack however balanced, good
correspondence to the nose, intense flavors and full body. The finish is
very persistent with long and clean flavors of cherry, plum and raspberry.
A great and well made wine that will give its best with further years of
aging in bottle. This Barolo ages for 30 months in cask followed by 8
months of aging in bottle.
