Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 25, 2018 - Absolutely delicious now. And surprising, given how young it is. Grasso extracts in this minor vintage and simple "villages' Barolo a true sense of Nebbiolo and terroir. A dark blackish color produces nose of mild violets, tar, some dark moist earth and cherry. But all mild tones without the depth or extraction of a great riserva in a great vintage. A wine made in the modern Piedmont style--decidedly NOT New World but definitely made to drink early. And well worth it to do so. Decanted for an hour after a long slo ox. It was mellifluous from the go and added smokey notes as the evening wore on. Well made.
