  September 22, 2018 - 2018 Cavallotto visit with Giuseppe Cavallotto (Tenuta Bricco Boschis, Castiglione Falletto): A little darker in colour than the 2016. An attractive bouquet of black spices, espresso, liquorice and rose and violet florals. On palate, really serious volume and concentration. Large scaled and powerful. Good freshness and precision. Seamless, silky tannins. Quite elegant. A strong porcini character, also blackberries and other dark fruit, liquorice and minerals. A very good Barolo to cellar long term. “It’s open and easy now – after one year in bottle – but I think it will soon close down hard”, said Giuseppe. He didn’t say, once closed, how long he’d cellar it, but I’d imagine at least 5+ years.
