2011 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo Monvigliero
It's been almost two years since I've checked in on this wine. Slow-o in bottle for half hour and then took to dinner.
Think elegant Burgundy except for delicate tar and roses palate... smooth as silk tannins still have more years ahead until completely mellowing out.... but after a couple of hours, a very nicely balanced overall picture emerges. Delicately floral aromatics compelete the package. I really enjoy this style ... it is pretty irresistible for lovers of classic Barolo.
Not sure if this vintage will make old bones. No sign of shutting down at this point.
