Tasting notes
Very punchy and powerful on the nose. A touch of graphite, and some sweet fruit. Purity again, and that distinct Cavallotto breeding. It’s slightly Latour-esque in that this is a wine that knows how good it is. Aristocratic. All with an elegant polish. This is delicate and delicious, balanced and correct. Very good.

Bright pale garnet. Very fresh and racy on the nose. Extremely intense but – just – broachable. Powerful dry finish. Very long and emphatic. Pretty impressive! (JR)
Castiglione Falletto. Straightforward pale crimson. Meaty, almost gamey, nose. Then very sweet start to the palate. Just a bit candified. Then some distinctly drying tannins. Juts a tad ungainly at this juncture. (JR)
The 2011 Barolo Bricco Boschis is super-finessed and silky in the glass. Freshly cut flowers, rose petal, mint and cinnamon all give the 2011 an attractive upper register. The 2011 is a bit forward, which, along with its mid-weight structure, suggests it is best enjoyed over the next decade or so.
