Clos Sarpe other_regions_italy This is a far cry

This is a far cry from the old-school style of Troplong Mondot from a few years back

there is a great balance of structure

The 2016 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is going to need a few years to emerge

The succulent and sleek middleweight flavors are delicious

indeed this may the first vintage in quite a while where it is ready before the Richebourg

Clos Sarpe other_regions_italy This is a far cryBig and youthful, yet still a little rough. Dark colored, almost inky. Full bodied, very concentrated, with tobacco, dried cherry, mineral and berry flavors and a long, velvety, tannic finish. 1982 Bordeaux horizontal. Best after 2000.
