chalky tannins

dry and citrusy finish where the wood telegraphed by the nose slowly reemerges

papaya and mango aromas intertwined with the crystalline finesse and flintiness of the Schlossberg granite

even though in general 2008s were said by their growers to be slow to open

but every bit as much finesse

Roberto Voerzio, Langhe Fontanazza Pissotta Merlot other_regions_australia chalky tanninsLoads of black olive and blackberry character with hints of chili. Medium to full body, fresh herb and berry flavors. Slightly angular tannins and a flavorful finish. Just opening to be ready to drink now. An outstanding merlot from one of the great producers of Barolo. Drink or hold.
