One of the last vintages from these old vines before they were taken out to replant. Soft silky Barolo tannins!

Holy Bacchus this is delicious. Earthy, damp forest floor, dried flowers, cocoa powder, leather and spice, rich but not overpowering tannins, mellow and well rounded but with a berry, dark-cherry tartness. From Shawn's.

Sour cherries, crushed dried roses, cigar, leather, balsamic, bay leaf, truffle, cedar, tarragon, mint. Perfect acid/rough velvet tannin balance, full bodied yet elegant silky texture, long complex herbal, smoky, slightly floral finish. Paired with ribeye, beets and squash because I'm not an idiot.
