Barolo Brunate, Roberto Voerzio 2013

A super-classic Roberto Voerzio wine, the 2013 Barolo Brunate is powerful yet translucent, with exceptional balance and tons of class. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, menthol and a host of balsamic-inflected overtones develop nicely in the glass. In 2013, the Brunate possesses good depth, while its customary power and structure emerges with notable reluctance. Simply put, the 2013 is a jewel of a wine.

I love the perfumed aromas to this. So much rose and lilac character on the nose with pretty fruit. Medium to full body, ultra-fine tannins and an elegant finish. Better in 2018.
