This little wine has just shot straight into my top ten bottles of all time. Not least because of who I drank it with. We went to Enoteca Turi in Putney. Smoke became fire. She's quite amazing. Let's hope it lasts and I don't do something stupid.
The Barolo fitted perfectly. Soaringly aromatic from the glass, menthol, sweet cherry, sun warmed strawberries, the rich tang of fresh pipe tobacco and sweet roasted asian spices. The palate was strung with ripe powerful minerally tannins, huge fruit concentration of roasted strawberry, violet, black cherry, with base notes of tobacco pouch and crushed coal dust. It was so profound I could smell it from the glass on the table over my Rabbit.
