Guido Porro, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2009

Aug 27, 2013

By Michael Franz

The bouquet of this wine are rather muted at this point, suggesting that time is needed for tertiary aromas to bring its aromatic performance into line with its flavor impact, which is complex and very deep.  The flavors are open, generously fruity, and pleasantly earthy, with sweet fruit notes that easily buffer the wine’s tannins through the long but feminine-seeming finish.  Lovely.
