...magnificent...the flavors are vivid, delineated and wonderfully alive. The characteristic Villero spiced/balsamic notes are very much present. Black cherry, menthol, licorice, cloves and lavender infuse the impeccable, layered finish... This is a fabulous showing.
Fragrant and full bodied, this textbook Barolo opens with quintessential Nebbiolo aromas of red cherry, rose petal, new leather, dark spice and a balsamic note of menthol...shows great breeding and class, offering Marasca cherry, cranberry, licorice and clove set against a backbone of assertive but refined tannins and bright acidity.
...bouquet shows precision and focus with long-range aromas of dried forest berry, spice, wild rose and white licorice. There is a slightly salty or mineral note that adds to the wine's overall dryness and polished nature. This is a beautiful Barolo...
