Barolo Riserva Fossati Casa Nere 2009

- 17 points -

Pale brick, with some garnet at the core. Roasted coffee, toasted chocolate and some dried herb, with dried tobacco, tar and lots of spice character. Juicy, brisk acidity lifts the tarry, chocolatey palate. Firm to high, resolving tannins. Mellow, long, spiced finish. (TJ)
