Falletto di Bruno Giacosa, Barolo 2009 6x75cl

91 Points, Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Exotic candied strawberry and musky truffle aromas are lifted by pepper and a floral topnote. Quite smooth if not yet especially expressive, offering a juicy quality to the flavors of red berries, red cherry, mint and spices. There's lovely ripe red fruits here, and nicely sweet tannins, but this wine seemed to clamp down with air. It will need at least a few years of cellaring to express its personality.Review Date: 01 Nov 13
