Balsamic and truffle notes pepper the palate of this handsome Barolo

this is a vintage to put away and forget for at least 5-6 years

this splendid wine promises to get even better over the next 4-6 years and possibly last through the first decade of the next century

His latest releases are nothing short of spectacular

As is virtually always the case
