Lo Zoccolaio Barolo Riserva 2013

Subdued aromas of espresso, scorched earth and baking spice eventually emerge from the glass. The tightly wound palate offers unripe cherry, orange zest and roasted coffee bean alongside grainy, rather fleeting tannins.

Dried mushrooms, red fruit and tea leaves with hints of tar on the nose. Full body, integrated and tight tannins and a juicy, savory finish.

Lovely and enticing 2013. Drink now.
