smoke- and spice-tinged red/blue fruit qualities

This is a stunner of a wine that has everything it needs to age gracefully for years to come

pixelated tannins and seamless freshness

The relatively dense tannins are actually fairly refined for the appellation but this will still require at least 15 years to be at its best

Here the nose is exceptionally fresh with an even more pronounced floral character to the earthy and slightly sauvage red currant and underbrush suffused aromas

Giacomo Grimaldi, Barolo other_regions_australia smoke- and spice-tinged red/blue fruitFerruccio Grimaldis 2010 Barolo opens to a dark, slightly veiled appearance with thick streak of garnet and dark ruby in its muted color. The wine shows simple lines and slightly muddled aromas of dark cherry, tobacco and cola. What the wine lacks in definition, it makes up for in intensity and power. A note of sour cherry appears on the close. Drink, 2015 2022.
