Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis San Giuseppe, Cavallotto 2009

The divine 2009 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe shows an impressive level of elegance and grace. You taste the fleshy fruit flavors and the bold tones of the warmer vintage, but there's a good amount of structure and textural finesse to keep the wine in perpetual balance. This Riserva is just beginning to show the signs of careful evolution with fine dustings of white pepper and raw licorice stick. Its texture is exceedingly fine and silky.
