Brrrrolo!

Sorry... I've been waiting for a while for that one... had one of my top 5 Italian wines of the year last night. The simply stunning 1993 Bruno Giacosa Barolo, Nieve, Piedmont. Like sticking your nose in a bowl full of dried clove and dried cranberries! A quite powerful and tannic wine, even at 12 years of age. I love these wines... they are so haunting when they are mature. Also had a nice glass of Krug and a taste of the 2001 Silver Oak Alex for then nth time... still don't really love it.
