Barolo Rivera di Castiglione 1999
Oddero (Italy)
Barolo (Piedmont)
This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of garnet red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing and
refined aromas which start with hints of cherry and raspberry followed by
aromas of plum, dried violet, dried rose, vanilla, licorice, cocoa and
cinnamon. In the mouth has good correspondence to the nose, a slightly
tannic attack and pleasing crispness, however balanced by alcohol, full
body, intense flavors. The finish is persistent with flavors of cherry,
raspberry and plum. This Barolo ages in cask.
