2017 Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi

Tasting note

Light ruby colour. The bouquet is less powerful than that of the Ornato but more refined and elegant. Brilliant red cherry, red berries and juicy plum. Some wet stones. Still high in tannins, but the tannins have integrated and the wine appears quite approachable today. First hints of leather. Solid length. Very good.

Drink through 2032.
