Region: Barolo DOCG
Vintage: 2008
Colour: Red with and orange hue
Alcohol: 14.0%
Bouquet: Wet leaves and sour cherry, twig bark freshly removed
Flavour: Fantastic tannins with a long, lingering, teeth coating finish. The initial fruit aspect is a little restrained and has some earth and mushroom flavours.
Points: 85 (3+5+12+8+7+50)
Notes: Tasted last of our wines and aired for a couple of hours and initialled poured into a decanter. The tannins were wonderful. The restrained nose and first part of the taste did not sit well with the others. I rated it second overall and possibly was too harsh with the bouquet component of scoring. Here, it is almost $50 ~ 1,000 Kc. I cannot see how much it costs in Europe.
