2005 Vietti Barolo Lazzarito

Community Tasting Note

Likes this wine:

Friday, October 29, 2021 - This is an incredibly pretty and delicate expression of Lazzarito that is immediately appealing yet deserves a few hours in bottle to really come around. The bouquet is classic with fresh roses giving way to dusty cherry, cloves, allspice and the slightest hint of underbrush. This communicates Lazzarito through it's edgy core of salty minerals mixed with concentrated raspberry and red currant fruits, as adolescent tannins add grip toward the finale, yet there's plenty of zesty acidity and velvety textures to balance its structure. The 2005 tapers off persistently with an air of tobacco and lingering spice. I believe another five years will do this some good, yet if you're sitting on a few bottles, there's no harm in checking in now.
