Medium to full-bodied on first inspection, the 2015 Barolo Riserva Gramolere is quite a big wine ultimately, with thick layering and bold aromas of pressed blackberry and plum. Those dark fruit tones cede to toasted spice, clove, smoky tar and cured tobacco. There is a lot of ripe fruit here and a lot of oak spice, but these two sides of the wine are well matched if that's the style you seek.
