The 2001 Barolo Sarmassa (magnum) flows onto the palate with crushed rose petals

It it savory and leafy and fine

The supple middle weight flavors retain a fine sense of verve and precision that is also present on the impressively intense backend where the abundant dry extract does an excellent job of buffering the firm tannic spine as well as imparting a seductive texture

(from 60+ year old vines and the vineyard is a whopping 4 ha monopole within Perrières)

de Montille, Beaune Perrieres other_regions The 2001 Barolo Sarmassa (magnum)(33% stems). An extremely fresh and expressive nose speaks of floral notes, red currant and hints of red berry liqueur while the mineral inflected and well detailed flavors possess real verve on the energetic and wonderfully harmonious finish. I quite like the style of this as its a wine of grace and harmony. 91 2017+
