Andrea Oberto, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Aug 20, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This wine was sensational in the 2007 vintage, and though the 2008 is a bit more reserved, it likewise is explosively fruity and already sufficiently developed to enjoy with food.  Impressive in every respect, it is especially strong in terms of texture, with exceptional balance between soft fruit and grippy tannins.
