Firmly structured, the 2012 Barolo from Luca Bosio is classic in character, with mouth-puckering tannins walling off the excellent dry cherry fruit that is rather shy at this stage. Notes of leather and spice add complexity. This wine need another eight to ten years to realize its potential, so be sure to decant and expose to air for an hour or more if you serve it sooner. A Platinum award-winner at the 2017 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
