Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo Bussia 2010

Barolo, Italy

WineSaint
Austere and backward, showing medicinal herbs, tar and brooding dark fruit. The tannins are formidable but the mid-palate feels hollow, lacking the fruit density to balance the structure. This may simply be going through an awkward phase, though the core feels lean for a wine that demands extended cellaring.
