Chewy and impressively concentrated

The Villero is a balanced and polished Barolo that opens to nicely integrated fruit and spice tones

pit fruit and candied ginger flavors

Chateau de la Tour, Clos Vougeot other_regions_italy Chewy and impressively concentratedModerate but not invasive wood sets off overtly floral red and dark berry fruit aromas that are liberally spiked with warm earth and spice wisps. There is a refined, even caressing texture to the medium bodied flavors that possess good levels of dry extract along with solid punch and power on the firm and lightly austere finale. This isnt a monster of concentration in the same fashion as its 2018 counterpart but it offers fine quality.
