Auction Base – Barrique nr. 12

Galloni’s Opinion

We’re moving on to barrel 12. This is the fourth wine in our flight of wines from mid-slope parcels within the Gustava vineyard. And like all of the wines in this particular series of four wines – barrels 9 to 12 – there’s just a very beautiful balance and sense of harmony, naturally within the style of a of a lighter vintage. So ,this wine has beautiful red tone fruit, accented by white pepper, citrus and spice overtones. The balance in this wine… like all the wines, there’s a balance in this smaller scale vintage, which is really quite attractive. And this wine really captures, I think, the best of what this vintage has to offer here.
