The 2011 Barolo Pira Vecchie Viti is deep

the wood influence is subtle though not imperceptible on the slightly cooler aromas of lavender

ample Barolo shows off its personality

dry and solidly intense with excellent mid-palate concentration before culminating in a penetrating and mineral-suffused finish that delivers very fine length

This Sassicaia roars in terms of bouquet

Drouhin Laroze, Gevrey Chambertin Closeau other_regions The 2011 Barolo Pira Vecchie(Drouhin is the only producer of this vineyard and owns 90% of it; from 60+ year old vines). Reduction dominates the nose today and while there is a lovely mouthfeel to the vibrant, sleek and focused flavors, the reduction reappears on the palate. Its hard to say if this will clean up or not. (88 91?) 2023+
