forest floor

This is a super-classic Barolo from Brovia

with the bitter structure and the exaggerated phenolic ripeness of the growing season

it is certainly nicely delineated

There is very good size and weight

Philippe Pacalet, Corton Bressandes other_regions_australia forest floorThis is the first wine to display any material amount of reduction and here its enough to overshadow the fruit. Otherwise there is fine freshness to the big bodied and muscular flavors that are at once rich and quite serious, all wrapped in an austere if long finish. This needs to develop more depth but the underlying material appears to be such that it should in time. (90 93) 2029+
