Cherry cola, licorice and a touch of balsam herb define the bouquet of the 2017 Barolo Simposio. Like the other wines from Bel Colle, the aromatic intensity here is mild and elegant, but the "Symposium" delivers its keynote speech on the palate, where it shows a very fine, lean and silky texture. The tannins are well on their way to integration and softness in this release of 16,000 bottles.
