Richer style, loaded with cassis and darker fruits and sandalwood. One thing you are tasting: French Oak. Ghisolfi appears to be a hybrid producer, some modern wines, some more traditional with less oak influence from Slavonian oak bottis. 14.76 % ABV from tech sheet. This a big boy Barolo, but can probably can be consumed early. Costco deal.

Opened for 3 hours.. Needs another 5 years. Big strapping young lad, dressed in a cedar suit with a blackberry tie. Black raspberry hanky. A smart dresser for sure..

So Italian. Earth, funk, fruit playing in the sandbox. VA out to the sticking point. Hints of roses.

No notes. I just remember being underwhelmed. At the bottom of the list of wines at the table when it came to quality.

My goodness what a mystical wine. Everything going on here. Earth, wind and fire! Dark fruit, cigar box, completely integrated, fine polished tannins. Nice barnyardy edge. Excellent!
