Score: ✧✧✧✧✭ |
This Barolo shows a brilliant ruby red color and nuances of brick red,
moderate transparency. The nose reveals intense, clean, pleasing, refined
and elegant aromas which start with hints of cherry, violet and raspberry
followed by aromas of plum, blueberry, vanilla, tobacco, cinnamon,
licorice, pink pepper, rhubarb, cocoa, leather and menthol. The mouth has
good correspondence to the nose, a tannic attack and pleasing crispness,
however balanced by alcohol, full body, intense flavors, agreeable. The
finish is persistent with flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum. A well
made wine. Barolo Parafada ages for 24 months in barrique followed by at
least 12 months of aging in bottle.
