The palate is sharp on the entry

Finishes with chalky tannins and a continuing element of greenness

intense and concentrated big-bodied flavors also exhibit the same very fine tannins as the rest of the range with a hugely long finish that is less austere than is typical

A wine of tremendous breeding and pure stature

Roberto Voerzio, Barolo Sarmassa other_regions The palate is sharp onThe 2001 Barolo Sarmassa (magnum) flows onto the palate with crushed rose petals, truffles, spices and sweet herbs. It shows gorgeous mid palate pliancy and depth through to the round, opulent finish. The Sarmassa has aged quite gracefully. There is more than enough rich, dark fruit to support another two decades of very fine drinking. (Magnum) Antonio Galloni
