Auction Base – Barrique nr. 3

Galloni’s Opinion

Let’s check out wine number three from the historic Old Vines. Really interesting to taste this after barrel number two. Whereas barrel number two has a slightly little bit more forward expression of fruit, here there’s a little bit more earthiness, savouriness, a little bit more sort of leather, cedar, dried herbs, flowers. It’s a really complex wine, maybe not quite as immediate as wine number two, but we are talking about young Barolo from barrel here, after all. This wine has just really beautiful complexity and a lot of different shades of nuance to explore. Of course, we’ll know more when the wine is in bottle, but right now this is shaping up really nicely.
