Tasting notes
Compared to the 2015 vintage that is totally focused on the primary fruit, the 2014 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped is a much drier expression with aromas of garden herb, eucalyptus, dried mint and medicinal herb. The wine shows abundant strength and power at this young age, but I'm not sure where its aging trajectory will take it given the lack of sweet fruit to carry it forward. Those dry tannins lead me to think this wine should be consumed within the next 10-20 years.

Monforte d’Alba. Tasted blind. Unusually dark for this very cool and rainy vintage. Leafy, herbal nose that is closed on the fruit, at least for the moment. Sweet cherry and wonderful grainy tannins filling out the palate. Aromatic, long finish – just medium bodied. Quite a bold, chewy structure. (WS)
