This is notably finer than the Charmes but not more complex
Offends the brett police and lacks fruit
We’ll see with time but despite the serious punch

Alessandro & Gian Fantino, Barolo Cascina Dardi Bussia Riserva other_regions_australia This is notably finer thanThe 2008 Barolo Riserva has barely budged since I tasted it a year ago. While so many other 2008 Barolos are built on perfume and grace, Fantino's 2008 Riserva has those qualities, along with a surprising amount of pure, unbridled power. This uber classic, deceptively mid weight Barolo packs a serious punch. A host of sweet cherry, sage, lavender, tobacco and smoke meld into the building, intense finish. Antonio Galloni
