Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 8, 2018 - 2018 Long Sunday Lunch on the Langhe: We served this wine blind. Ruby with orange tinge. Aromatic, showing a lot of evolution with notes of dried herb, tobacco, mushroom, warm earth and tar. As someone said, the overall effect was something like lamb stew. “Round and soft on mid palate”, as Thierry observed. Evolved but elegant. Resolved tannins and integrated fruit and acids. After the reveal there was a discussion about whether the Cogno was too advanced for a 1997. It probably was but I found this a lovely, mellow Barolo to drink now, with a tannin structure I preferred over the 1993 Fenocchio.
