Delectable: The producer is Armando Parusso. Light to mid crimson in colour. Unusually light for a Barolo. A nose of red fruits and surprisingly bruised strawberries. The palate showing savoury earthy notes with that strawberry note - a touch of tar. Finishing with very silky tannins - silkier than I expected from a 15 year old Barolo. This usually happens at 20 plus years in my experience. A lovely Barolo I bought in Alba at an excellent wine shop called Grande Vini. There is a Parusso Barolo in the 1001 wines book but it is from Bussia, unlike this Cuvée. A different sort of Barolo with that bruised strawberry character but thoroughly enjoyable. If you have any in the cellar you could enjoy over the next few years. — 9 days ago

@Chris MacLean not sure this is exactly the same label you had with @Sarah Bignami
I did sourced it from callmewine and i am happy enough though
What fascinated me was the corrispondence with the territorial elements so common in the surrounding
I found raspberries and wild apples, licorice, elderflower and fennel seeds and these are all parfumes you meet in the area
The tannin was lean and there is a nice mineral too.
Fairly long and enjoyable
It needed time to open up
Definitely worth the money
😊🍷🙏
Thanks @Chris MacLean and @Sarah Bignami
And thanks to Armando Castagno too — 3 years ago

It’s still lives! So surprised that this was still kicking, with a nice acidity and smoky meatiness on the palate, with hints of marinated cherry (in like, brandy), tar, and the color of Port! The nose still notes of fruit even, with plum, smoke, spice, and Tiva says, “an old movie theatre, or magician’s room”. After a couple hours, the ripe red fruits were exploding out of the glass still, with velvet and even florals hinted on the acidic palate. The meaty, iron flavors lingerrrr. — a year ago

Classic and straight forward. Lacks a bit of acid and tannin but decent. Would have been much better with a stronger backbone/mid palate. — 2 years ago
