so faintly weak

this is fresh and citrusy on the plushly creamy palate

The wood extends to the solidly concentrated flavors that manage to hold their focus better on the sneaky long if slightly warm finish

Credit high-elevation grape growing for this tightly wound

Andrea Oberto, Barolo Brunate Brut Zero so faintly weakAged in barrique, 20% new. Intense aroma of lightly spicy red fruit with a hint of orange, dried cherry richness but not overly sweet. Hints of tea and a gentle floral quality. Everything you want in Nebbiolo scent plus just a touch of oak sweentess. Lovely texture, dry, mouth coating tannins but so gentle and spreading softly to wash the palate. Already giving pleasure but much more to come. (JH)
