Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 11, 2018 - Dinner at Vinoteca Centro Storico in Serralunga d’Alba: Lifted, bright, luscious 2011-typical aromatics. Notes of blackberries, black spices, dark cherries, liquorice, dark florals and lots of menthol. I preferred this Barolo. At only seven years of age, it was quite approachable. Muscular with pure, ripe fruit showing that 2011 richness. Thierry said, “I really like this – it has sweet 2011 fruit but under control”. It was a surprise to be told that the alcohol was 15%, it hid it well. I would still be inclined to cellar this wine 3-4 more years.
