Angelo & Davide Germano, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Aug 18, 2013

By Michael Franz

Very complex and a standout for stylishness, this shows engaging aromas recalling spring flowers, vanilla, menthol and spices.  The texture is rounded and the flavors are quite deep and persistent.  Although there are no hard edges showing, the softness of the wine was not purchased at the price of any stewy, over-ripe flaws.  Very well done.
