2010 Elio Grasso Barolo Ginestra Casa Maté
Community Tasting Note
ciaovito Likes this wine:
Tuesday, December 8, 2020 - Tasted blind. Lots of oak notes for the first hour. Opened up beautifully and is obvious an excellently made wine. Very nice driving acidity that keeps the tannins in check. Could not get over that my first guess was Rioja. Almost pickle like oakiness that just barely receded as it was unwinding. Check back in 5-7 years. I really liked it by the end of the bottle, but that oak???
