Cavallotto Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2012
The character of the 2012 vintage shows cleanly through in the elegant, restrained Barolo Bricco Boschis. The nose shows characteristic aromas of red and black cherries, with summer herbs, anise and penetrating floral notes. In the mouth, the nuanced flavors of cherries, raspberries and hints of eucalyptus are wrapped around a balanced yet subtle tannic structure. The finish is long and focused, with mineral and berry flavors. The warm but not overly hot growing conditions gave the wine excellent fruit-acid integrating and they are in harmony with the tannins and alcohol. This is a gentler, less austere iteration of the Bricco Boschis Barolo that will need about a decade to reach its drinking window.

2021/8. Lots of deep fruit, with a dark tint for Barolo - tarry earth and a bit of truffle too. Lots of structure showing at this stage - this is perhaps entering a sterner middle age.

2020 spring. An old favorite whose recent price increases have been a bit of a shock, this was as good as ever - layered, satisfying, complete

Needs to be left alone in my opinion. Drying tannins. Lots of cherry and red fruits. Tart.

Very nice. Definitely a younger drinking Barolo, but still on a Barolo scale because would still rather try in 5+ years. Smells fresh and balanced, slightly lighter bodied, excellent acid, grippy tannins, but not crazy on that front. Very nice overall.
