The 2012 Barolo Baudana seems to have absorbed much of the vintage heat. The bouquet is immediate and dense, with sweet and jammy aromas of blackberry and raspberry. Those ripe fruit tones take away from the overall definition and complexity of the variety. With fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, the results show extra richness and textural fortitude. Barolo Baudana is best for near and medium-term drinking.

Eucalyptus, licorice, leather, cherry and spice aromas and flavors signal this tightly wound red. Dense tannins shore up the flavors. The acidity keeps the finish focused and long. Best from 2019 through 2033. 500 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
