Scarrone Vigna Mandorlo Barolo Nebbiolo

#AgedWineTuesday

Ruby in color with a reddish hue.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red cherries, currants, spices, light oak, chocolates, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious 12 year old Barolo. Feels very fresh and young. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Very approachable at this point, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself as a sipping wine.

100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large French oak barrels for 46 months.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$80.

Vintage 2012 | Riserva | beautiful Nebbiolo, complex, rich

Really nice - bit seems it gets bit too warm during ghe last two or three summer. Bit too aged for his age

Definitely of the tar and roses school of barolo (we approve), with a bit of heat and oak spice that is interesting but slightly out of harmony. Still young?
