Elio Grasso
Rüncot Riserva Barolo Nebbiolo
Wow. Only made in top years. When not, declassified into Langhe Nebbiolo! Much darker than the other Barolos

Dec 27th, 2015The Elio Grasso Riserva Rüncot Barolo 2007 blossoms in the glass with heady, provocative scents of violets, forest underbrush, dusty earth, star anise, incense, and smoke. On the palate, fine, tightly-wound tannins weave in and out of glints of cherries, rose hips and plums followed by a graceful, arching finish. A powerhouse, but a beauty, too.

Apr 26th, 2013Found this beautiful barolo bottle in napa. On nose its fresh red fruits like strawberries, raspberries, some leather, floral, herbs, ans earthy
On palate, its so intense, long finish, still fresh, the tannins mellowed, i believe this still have 5 more years of cellaring. Delicious wine. Cheers!
