Barolo Nebbiolo


Opens up with brightness and splash of pomegranate, cherries, tangerine. Hints of leather and earth blend with tannins and a moderate acidity into the finish.

2008. A savory sledgehammer. Nose has balsamic, leather, menthol, dried cherries, and scorched earth. Earth, balsamic, and leather in the mouth, overwhelming the fruit. Lots of puckery tannin and some heat in the finish. Not my style.

Deep garnet color. Aromas of cherry, plum, violets and red licorice. Deep red fruit flavors, oak and tannic. Very sexy nose on this wine.

Still a little tannic and tight, starting to show fruit with berries being most prevalent
