2007 Barolo Ravera

Tasting notes
At first a touch medicinal but with air more opulent and quite minerally. Ripe, fragrant fruit, but much more juvenile on the palate with grainy tannin. Wonderful balance. Bitter note and touch medicinal again. Closes up on the finish. Needs decanting and preferably a bit more bottle age. (WS)

The 2007 Barolo Ravera is sweet, open and totally inviting. It shows gorgeous radiance in its expressive dark fruit. Hints of mocha, espresso, spices and licorice develop in the glass. Sweet floral notes add complexity on the nuanced finish. This is another impressive showing from Principiano.
