Tasted from an ex-château bottle at the BI Wines & Spirits 10-Year On tasting

This is not an especially elegant Corton yet neither is it overtly rustic

Elio Sandri other_regions_italy with the Grenache aged inThe 2015 Barolo Perno is the sort of wine you want to open and spend many hours with. Initially the tannins are searing, but over time the 2015 starts to come together. Scents of tobacco, cedar, dried cherry, mint and leather open gradually. On the palate, though, the wine is much less forthcoming. The 2015 is a Barolo of beguiling complexity and nuance that will give everything it has to offer on its own time schedule. Antonio Galloni
