Batasiolo Barolo 2014
Piedmont, ItalyWe love how the newer Barolo vintages are so much cleaner and appealing on the nose and the palate – it is a long way from the old, earthy, barnyard, leathery wines that ruled the day in Barolo from the 70s through the 90s and beyond. Look for a light-ish colour, an elegant mix of freshness, cranberries, cherries and violets with resiny, savoury, tar notes before its long, lean, fine-grained tannins kick into the finish. Steak tartare is the choice today, but why not cellar this through 2022.Tasted: 05 November 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $37.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
