Fossati Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Sick. Super sick. Magic. The creme de la creme. This is a superstar wine. It’s so nice when elite expensive wine delivers. Nose has the most precise mid season cherries ever. So wow. Tar. Spice. Smoke. Layered like nothing else. Elite. A nose that captures you like nothing else. Licorice. So clean. Every aroma is so defined. So precise. But it also is ephemeral and flirty like great Nebbiolo should be. Seductive. Every sniff a new nuance. It smells crunchy. Ocean air leads to superb minerality. So so good. The clarity here is ridiculous. Just so insane. 9.8 nose. It might go higher. So elegant and concentrated with just the most precise fruit. Salty sweet almost. God damn this is so good. How to you get salty sweet cherries in a wine? And to have it taste this good. They are crunchy cherries as well. And like salt that you blend with caramel. That glistening salt. The clear stuff. Balanced. So so balanced and filled with energy and the most clear and precise fruit. Amazing tannins. Powerful but so deep and cuts a swath. Long like a July day. It never ends. And it coats your palate with minerals but the fruit keeps pushing for minutes. My score will be higher in 5-8 years.
Got insane overnight. Amazingly precise and smells elegant. Unreal sweet fruit. So pure. So complex. So powdery. Balance is superb. This is as good as Barolo gets. 9.7 to 9.8.
