December 17, 2022 - This is rather more austere than my memory and TNs of Grasso Barolo from 1997 and 1998 but I think that is in keeping with the vintage character. Though endowed with rather more acidity and residual tannins and perhaps a more matt texture, the usual sour cherry, rose petal, tar and fine minerals were present as well as good length. So another classy Barolo from this reliable source and a nice pairing for lamb. Very good.

Dark Cherries, leather, tar, soy sauce. Underwelming for a 96. -
