2008 Vietti Barolo Castiglione

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

92 Points

Saturday, February 14, 2015 - Decanted for 2 hours
Eye: resdish-brown core to a rusty blood orange rim
Nose: Cherries, earth and slightly mineral
Palate: Ripe reduced cherry, tobacco and tar with med+ acidity, still firm tannins and long finish. It was every bit of the 14.5% as indicated on the label

Overall this was a beautiful example of Barolo! This wine has at least 3-5 years before it hits its peak. Patience will be rewarded but if that is not an option i strongly suggest 4hrs+ to decant. Enjoy!
