Brandini Annunziata Barolo 2015

Underbrush, scorched earth, hazelnut and menthol aromas slowly take shape on this along with a whiff of violet. Focused and full-bodied, the elegant palate evokes cherry compote, ripe strawberry, star anise and mint alongside polished tannins. Drink 2022-2030. Score – 95.
