Gagliasso Rocche dell'Annunziata Barolo 2014 (750ml) Monastrel

Gagliasso Rocche dell'Annunziata Barolo 2014 (750ml) MonastrelThis is a gorgeous wine on many fronts. Firstly, its aromas of wild berry, smoke and cedar are focused and pristine. Secondly, the texture it imparts in the mouth is dense, firm but ultimately yielding and plush. Lastly, the wine's fresh flavors endure for many minutes. "This has aromas evoking espresso, red plum and vanilla while the tightly wound palate suggests cedar, clove and dark berry. Bracing tannins give it an astringent finish. KERIN OKEEFE"
