1998 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto di Serralunga d'Alba
Chinese is 巴络络? Barolos are one of my favorite wines, but I seldom just drink it without eating Italian and enough decanting time.
Excellent Barolo with find ruby red color with orange rim. Roses, floral, cherry, minerals, strong tannins and strawberries. So complex, yet still so young with still harsh tannins. Excellent long finish which shows what a Barolo Nebbiolo grape can do. With time and decanting, became even better with bursting fruit and floral but fine acidity, never dropping off.
The Barolo is aged in 30 month Allier barrels and gives the wine the classic silky Barolo feel. This producer is considered to be a traditionalist.
Probably just right for the 1st taste of the wine. Looking forward to more of this!
