1996 and 2000 Fontanafredda Barolo Lazzarito Delizia

Fun comparison of Serralunga terroir in two different vintages from the Lazzarito cru....

The 2000 vintage was represented well with lush fruit and burnished tannins..... a delightful wine.

The 1996 took 5 hours to open up in a decanter and show well. Beautiful classic structure with refined tannins as a foundation for delicious cherry and creosote palate. The tannins deliver a mouthwateringly addictive pucker on the long finish. The 1996 will easily go another 20 years.
