Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo 2016
Red
Barolo, Italy

WineSaint
Dense cherry and earth emerge slowly through a fortress of tannin. Cedar, white pepper and tobacco smoke build in layers, but this remains locked down and nearly impenetrable. The structure borders on severe. Dusty, gripping tannins that coat the mouth with old-school intensity. Classic Vignolo that will reward those with serious patience. Drink 2030-2050.
