Thursday, February 1, 2024 - Piemonte (Barolo & Barbaresco) tasting (at my home): excellent nose
Color: Deep garnet with some bricking at the rim.
Aroma: Notes of red fruit (cherry, plum), dried flowers (rose, violet), licorice, spices (pepper, clove), leather, tar, and earth.
Palate: Full-bodied, with firm but integrated tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors may include red fruit, dried fruit, spice, earth, and leather. The finish should be long and persistent.
still at peak, alive and hedonistic!
