The 2008 Barolo Sarmassa is a big, powerful wine laced with dark cherries, plums, mint and leather, all of which come to life on a broad-shouldered frame supported by firm tannins. The Sarmassa impresses for its energy, focus and vitality, which it expresses while retaining an understated personality. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.
