Community Tasting Note

Richard P Howden Likes this wine:

Monday, December 19, 2022 - Only barely developed since the last bottle, opened at Penny Roma in San Francisco. Started off with a very pretty nose of cherries, strawberries and drenched in roses. The palate was medium weight red-fruited and at first a little worryingly tannin filled. Luckily I was in a restaurant because as soon as the food started flowing the wine opened into a welcoming flood of bright saturated fruit, long acid balanced finish and a delicious mouth cleansing between bites. Rich pastas (Caccio e Pepe for example) we’re washed away to ready me for the next bite. Dark smoky beef short ribs equally balanced the wine, making every mouthful and swallow a joy.

This baby Barolo is in fine mettle, enjoyably youthful now but primed for a good long life. Wonderful to have some of these to sample while the ‘16 Barolos sleep away.
