TASTING NOTE: Dark cherry, plum, smoke, licorice, menthol and sage meld together in the 2012 Barolo Albarella. This is an especially virile, dense Barolo for the year, with considerable mid-palate richness and quite a bit of near to medium-term appeal. Drinking window: 2019-2027. Score - 93 (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, March 2016) |
