Aged two years in French oak, the 2010 Barolo Giachini bursts open with showy and super modern aromas of chocolate, toasted almond and cinnamon spice that wrap opulently over the palate. It shows a fantastic level of inner momentum that carries it gracefully, but resolutely over the palate. This is the proverbial Type-A personality Barolo. The texture is infinitely soft and supple for Nebbiolo standards. Barolo Giachini is already ready to pair now with a succulent lamb chop. Drink: 2015-2025.
