Here is a tonic, fresh and energized Barolo from Monforte d'Alba. Gianfranco Alessandria's 2013 Barolo is a pleasure to drink, and it will undoubtedly continue to offer that vibrant drinking pleasure for many more years to come. The wine achieves elegance and balance with dark fruit, rose hip, tar and licorice. Silky but firm tannins tie it tightly together. 93+/100 (04.2018) - robertparker.com
