with fresh cherry

earthy black fruit with good acidity

Slightly more concentrated than the 2012

the 2018 Barolo Arione still has another year in botte and time in bottle before its commercial release

Domaine, Latour Giraud other_regions_italy with fresh cherry(from 35+ year old vines in Charmes Dessus). Pungent aromas of wood, reduction and a hint of phenolic character render the nose unreadable today. More interesting are the dense, powerful and almost painfully intense larger scaled flavors that also soak the palate with sappy dry extract that does an excellent job of buffering the firm acid spine shaping the bone dry, moderately austere and impressively long finale. This is extremely promising.
