52 ha parcel in En La Chapelle

painfully young Cristal that will require considerable patience

The 2000 was roaring from the glass when I tasted it in the estates Cote Rotie cellars

on a lingering candied violet note

Youthful and loaded with minerality and tannin

Fratelli Alessandria, Barolo Gramolere Vintage:2021 52 ha parcel in EnMedium red. Distinctly cooler on the nose than the San Lorenzo di Verduna, offering scents of cherry and musky underbrush. Then sweeter and more concentrated in the mouth, but still with a coolish, savory character to the red fruit and balsamic flavors. Finishes with serious tannins that turn a bit dry with air.
