Manzone Giovanni Barolo Cento Anni Riserva 2009 750ml

Colour: Intense garnet red with ebony black nuances. Bouquet: Intense, enveloping, and complex. Notes of dried rose, sweet tobacco, mint, followed by leather and licorice. Taste: Powerful yet soft like satin, the polished tannins melt into the vibrant core of fruit. With every breath the flavours change, oscillating between flavours of wild cherry, rosolio (fruit liqueur), dried hillside herbs, fennel seed, and cocoa nibs. A wine of great personality: noble, complex, with the sublime balance that comes from a great vintage. The pixelated detail on the wine, in high focus, shows the respect and attention to every detail in the vineyard and the cellar. There is purity of fruit and an uncompromising sense of terroir. Patience and dedication helped to form this wine - it is a wine not to be rushed in its drinking.
