Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, October 5, 2018 - Visit to Giacomo Fenocchio with Claudio and Luca (Bussia, Monforte d’Alba): A noticeably paler ruby colour (due to the longer maceration). A lovely, complex bouquet of citrus, spices, florals, red fruits, tobacco and earth. A beautiful, traditional Barolo to drink. Very detailed. Preserved and fresh red fruit. Rusty, spicy, earthy, savoury and citric. Something about those last two flavour elements took me back to last night’s excellent, traditionally made 1989 Vignolo. It needs some years cellar time, I’d guess 8-10+ more. One of the wines of the trip.
