1998 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito

Community Tasting Note

wrote:

Monday, July 26, 2010 - Not the last dinner at Rothmann's (NYC): Not a distinctly oaky nose, but dark, with mellow brown spice, smoke, and a touch of alcohol. Palate shows dark cherry, wood smoke, some oak, brown spice, and a long finish softening around the edges. The more this airs, the more I think that the palate is very round and lacks edge. The finish is interesting and long, but the palate is not very detailed. Not sure whether this is just a '98 that is now showing really soft, or whether this wine was smothered with oak. Thanks, Fernando.
