2017 Bovio Barolo Riserva De-Rieumes

“Alessandra Bovio’s Riserva from 2017 is a blend of Arborina, Gattera and Parussi, aged for 24 months in oak and finished in concrete for around seven months. Aromas of rose, leather, tar, a lot of minty character, dried cherry and balsamic depth lead to a palate full of sucrosity. This is extremely precise, full, warming, and with some of the greatest tannins tasted in the 2017 vintage. Thick on the finish, there is a lot of meat on the bones here. Will age gracefully.” - Decanter
