Barolo

Medium

Natural Cork

The 1958 vintage in Barolo is lost in the sea of time, yet the wines continue to give generously. Nearly all of them were blended across the region, and the extraction and ageing were traditional - long maceration, firmly punched down, long ageing - yet this wine might live forever. The last bottle of the four we enjoyed was consistent with the others: potently aromatic, with a classic bouquet of tar and roses along with hints of liquorice, pepper and dried cherry. The aromas are mature but not old, and the texture is holding up, with some tannic support and a balance between fresh acidity and remarkably plump density on the finish.
