ESTG does Barolo at Marianna's

Barolo night at Marianna's! Old school Italian, sadly without Bill. :-(

  Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

  Nice, modern, high-pitched, fairly approachable with rich glossy fruit but also rather formidable structure underneath.

  Really nice, leathery, tar, florals, traditional. Quite classic and pretty, drank exceptionally well throughout the night.

  Quite modern. Deep, plummy, extracted, and intense. Generous fruit, very approachable, delicious, rich, again rather modern.

  My favorite wine of the night. Fiercely tannic at first yet opens up into a beautifully classic and wonderful Barolo. Just gorgeous.

  Mmmm, chewy, dark, tannic, masculine, stern, drinking rather classically for an old-school Barolo.
