Tuesday, December 31, 2013 - Three hour decant
Earthy, restrained nose even now, plums, brandy
Restrained red fruits, simply beautiful tannins, lead pencil, tobacco
I am a big fan of '97 Barolos and this village cru is representative of why after great '95 and '96 these wines really took off. Just great drinking and very typical of a great Barolo
