Cascina Bongiovanni
Pernanno Barolo Nebbiolo
After 45 mins in decanter this was Barolo from central casting. Tar and candied red flowers on the nose led a beautifully integrated and silky smooth fist full of old leather, dark cherry and fine tannins. Long, lingering finish. Nose got better over time. Excellent.

Jul 26th, 2020Opened after 5 hours of decanting. Vanilla really came through. Very tannic and astringent. Dried dark fruit.
