BAROLO 2021 DOCG
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer PRUNOTTO
A rather pale slightly ambering light red colour. Elegant, very slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry-cassis fruit on the nose with some faint forest floor notes. Dry, medium bodied, attractive, harmonious, very slightly spicy, bright, forward, ripe plum-cherry-raspberry flavours with rounded tannins and a lingering, pretty, faintly berryish, faint red licorice-tinged finish. Quite delicious, silky and perfect for current consumption, it has 13.5% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar CSPC 928721

TASTING NOTE: An elegant and sweetly perfumed offering, the 2021 Barolo pours a transparent medium red color and is a bit shy on opening, with notes of clove, strawberries, cedar, and fresh herbs. The palate has a nice level of tension to balance out its more supple Grenache-like fruit, and it has a zesty lift and light saltiness on the finish. It's a very charming Barolo to drink over the next 10 years. Maturity: 2025-2045. Score - 91 (Audrey Frick, jebdunnuck.com, May 1, 2025) Price $ 72.95
