2017 Barolo Giachini

The 2017 Barolo Giachini shows its typical pliant personality, but in a more restrained style than is typical. Ripe red berry fruit, cedar, dried flowers, mint and spice fill out its mid-weight frame nicely. There is lovely depth here, if a bit less mid-palate creaminess than in most years. That, in turn, makes the tannins stick out a bit.
