Barolo Falletto di Serralunga--Vintage 1995
Piedmont. Bruno Giacosa
Tasting Note: I enjoyed the outstanding 1995 Barolo Falletto. It possesses a medium dark ruby colour with some lightening at the edge. The intense nose of cedar, spice box, soy, tar, rose petals, and black fruits is followed by a wine with a sweet attack, full body, and dense, layered, concentrated, spicy flavours. As this muscular, tannic wine sat in the glass, all spice and dried herbs became increasingly apparent. Cellar it for 4-5 years, and consume over the following 12 years. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 124 (Aug 1999).
