The nose is very lifted and aromatic of red currant
featuring hints of sandalwood and tea that build richness and structure toward polished tannins
The latest block to be brought to the winery
and despite my negative remarks elsewhere in this newsletter about wines from such hot spots
vibrant fruit aromas
Mauro Veglio, Barolo, Vigneto Gattera 1999 LOIRE LUXE The nose is very liftedInto neck 91 CellarTracker Mature, ruby red color. Earthy nose, complex, plum, figs, some glue "velpon". Sweet taste, dark fruit and plums, velvety, still quite some tannins. Tannins are mainly smooth, at the end a bit coarse, however these have mellowed out already wonderfully the last years. Finish is long and beautiful. Needs 1 2 years to smoothen further. 8 1 2011
