Community Tasting Note

NickA Likes this wine:

Saturday, February 27, 2021 - Barolo Boys Special: Brunate Cru (Zoom!): Plot at 280m, 36 mos in big botte. His plot is slightly more south-facing than G Rinaldi’s, and he uses shorter maceration = darker colour, more drying tannins.

A brighter and slightly darker colour than wine #1. Some sweetness here, especially on the nose, but again there's tobacco, and more darkness and herbal savour – burned meat, yeast extract. Tannins are prominent and drying for a second or two, but then quickly overwhelmed by the fruit and forgotten. Really grown-up wine, with plenty of potential.
