Barolo

Medium

Cork

A new cuvée for Parusso on the Place de Bordeaux this year joining the three other Barolo wines. What a nose; aniseed sweets, liquorice, rosemary, coffee, cocoa, tobacco, baked strawberries and cola. Tannins make the immediate impression filling the mouth and coating the tongue in a chalky, mass of black fruit, sweet liquorice, wild flowers, mint and cola flavours while the acidity gives freshness and lots of life. It's round and full, ample, generous, giving such a lot of flavour and texture with a long finish. I like the structure and the focus here with such intensity of acidity and fruit. Simply shining out the glass. Full-bodied and full of character. A brilliant wine with lots to like and a really graphite, wet stone touch at the end that I love. Indigenous yeasts used for fermentation with no additional sulphur. Ageing in small oak barrels for at least 18 months followed by additional time in bottle.
