The 2008 Barolo Riserva opens to dark and savory tones with dried tobacco leaf, cherry confit and black currant. Lingering tones of licorice, tar and smoke add to the wine's aged or slightly evolved appeal. The mouthfeel is polished and taut with integrated tannins that already feel silky and long. This wine is ready to drink.

This is developing nicely, with woodsy, leafy flavors accented by fading cherry, mineral and tea hints. Firm yet racy, presenting a long, refreshing finish that lifts this up and leaves you wanting more. Best from 2017 through 2030. 1,000 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
