Barolo Ravera DOCG 2018

This is a vintage which imbues its wines with a pleasing elegance. A red/orange rim here, with a nose that is both fragrant and promising of that refinement. Offering florals, coffee grinds, hints of strawberry jam, dry herbs and truffles, this is finely balanced and with good length. There is an obvious and yet intriguing note of mint running throughout. Complexity is already building. A very fine Barolo which will drink beautifully for the next six to twelve years. Definitely one for those who prefer that degree of delicacy and elegance to overwhelming force in their wines. 94.
