Cordero di Montezemolo Vigna Enrico VI Barolo 2020

I like the mossy and wet herb complexity to the aroma profile, along with lots of dried flowers, watermelon, mulberries and sweet strawberries. Creamy, textured and full-bodied with a delicious core of sweet berry fruit. Firm, very fine tannins that spread across the palate. Very long. From organically grown grapes. Old vines of over 50-years-old. Try in 2028. Ranked #53 in James Suckling’s Top 100 Wines of Italy in 2024. Score – 97. (Claire Nesbitt, jamessuckling.com, Jan. 9, 2024)
