The Wine Society, Exhibition Barolo, Piedmont, Italy 2016

Super value here, for a Barolo that's drinking beautifully at the moment but has the structure to last. Made for the Society's top own-label Exhibition range by Silvano Bolmida, grapes come from the lauded Bussia vineyard which, in the near-perfect 2015 vintage, show delicious ripeness. Inviting aromas of musky spice, red cherry and rose petals then a supple, complex palate with beautiful spiced oak integration and dusty tannins alongside sour cherry concentration and savoury leather notes. A delicious drop that punches above its weight for the price.
