Barolo 2014 150cl

Here is another very successful expression from one of the appellation's legendary estates at the heart of Barolo. The 2014 Barolo is light and delicate in appearance with a delightful bouquet of wild rose, forest berry and blue fruit. Violets and lavender give the bouquet a pretty sense of lift and intensity that reminds you of the cool climate and long growing season that characterizes this vintage. This wine also offers evident freshness with bright berry flavors and a subtle feeling of crisp crunchiness. The tannins are superbly integrated within the silky and streamlined body of this elegant Barolo. This wine will surely offer exciting bottle evolution.

Camphor, fresh earth, incense and tobacco notes swirl around the core of cherry, rendering this aromatic. Firm on the palate, yet balanced, with a lingering aftertaste of sweet fruit, hay and tobacco. Best from 2022 through 2035.—B.S.
