2016 Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

96 Points

Monday, January 29, 2024 - I am a firm hold on this one. A ton of potential, but the tannins are still very high here. Long decant required if drank now.

Nose is glorious and worth the price of admission alone. Red cherry, cranberry, and raspberry. Some cigar and tobacco smoke. A minty/menthol note. Floral. Autumnal. Slightly medicinal. Licorice and anise. Complex and deep.

The huge tannins shut down the wine on the finish for the first 90-minutes or so, but the high acidity helps keep it fresh and as the wine opens up it gets better and better.

A classic Barolo in the making that will reward the patience. 95-97 point potential.
