Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 5, 2022 - It’s been a little while since I had a Barolo from 2012; a vintage that I have often enjoyed for its generosity. The cork pulled perfectly. In the glass, the wine pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core and moderate staining of the tears; medium viscosity. Mmmmmm…the wine is intense with tar and roses, funky cherry, sandalwood, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium++ acid. Notes of black cherry, blackberry, dried herbs, and dried earth. The finish is long and very satisfying. Every time I drink a bottle of Giovanni Manzone Barolo I ask myself why I don’t buy more of it.
