Wednesday, May 27, 2020 - 2hours of air in bottle already. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour with garnet rim. Legs. Sediments at end of bottle.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of rose & tar, dark red cherries, red plums, dark red licorice, hints of soy and earth, and chalky stones minerality with more air. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (14.5%), structured but nicely integrated high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of earth, soy, dark red licorice, dark red cherries, red plums, bit of boysenberry, and a vein of minerality. Long finish.
Very good quality. Lots of traditionally-made Barolo feels. Prime time to drink now. Showing well.
From the Cerretta cru in the commune of Serralunga d'Alba.
