cherry and a subtle application of wood

so faintly weak

The wood extends to the solidly concentrated flavors that manage to hold their focus better on the sneaky long if slightly warm finish

Andrea Oberto, Barolo Brunate Brut Zero Disgorged March 2018Aged in barrique, 20% new. Intense aroma of lightly spicy red fruit with a hint of orange, dried cherry richness but not overly sweet. Hints of tea and a gentle floral quality. Everything you want in Nebbiolo scent plus just a touch of oak sweentess. Lovely texture, dry, mouth coating tannins but so gentle and spreading softly to wash the palate. Already giving pleasure but much more to come. (JH)
