Virna Barolo Reserva Preda Sarmassa 1997
Cuneo, Piedmont, ItalyA blend of two vineyards, Preda and Sarmassa. Wet tobacco, earthy, roasted coffee, peppery, prune licorice aromas with floral rose-scented notes. Very smooth and rich with ripe, dry tannins. Lots of coffee, tobacco, peppery, black cherry jam, licorice flavours and lively acidity on the finish. A bit rough at this stage but it has elegance and should improve over the next five to seven years.Tasted: 17 January 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $64.00 | 750ml | Specialty |
