Dried herbs

This is sufficiently reduced that the nose is tough to properly assess

Rosso’s 2006 Barolo La Serra shows more density and freshness than the Serralunga

This needs to develop more depth but it should have no trouble accomplishing that if it is allowed at least 5 to 7 years of bottle age

intense and driving middle weight flavors that display ample freshness as well as impressive precision and tension on the primary but balanced and solidly lingering finish

Roche Bellene, Vosne Romanee Beaux Monts other_regions_australia Dried herbsThere is enough reduction present to push the spice and ripe dark berry fruit aromas to the background though it does not extend to the palate. The amply rich and full bodied flavors possess fine midpalate density and evident minerality on the succulent yet focused and slightly warm finale that is youthfully austere but not dry. I allowed this 24 hours of air and it remained reduced and I am always wary of wines that dont clean up with extended air.
