Saturday, February 4, 2023 - Festa dal Barolo AM tasting
Cooler fruited for this bottling. Floral with tar, violets more than rose, and some Giacosa like hard candy notes. Midweigthed and beautifully balanced. this is a less powerful, but really well balanced bottle of Brunate. Cooler fruit with more Ricola than classic balsam medicinal notes. Thi swine has s sense of poise and lift. It reminds me a little bit texturally of the lift of some of the best '14s. Finishes long. Not a pwoerhouse, but really well done with a sense fo mystery and freshness.
