Wild and wooly....I'm impressed by his choice of herbs and flavorings here. This is the first chinato that I've had and found the taste of barolo missing (vs. strangely, the barolo vinegars that I 've had). slightly medicinal....and when I say medicinal, I mean Vicks Formula 44. Heat of 17% offset by some sweetness making it port-like and intriguing.
