Parusso 2010 Mariondino (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Mariondino
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Parusso / Barolo

This opens with weedy aromas along with whiffs of coffee, espresso and toasted oak. The raw palate displays oak, licorice and dried sage but it lacks fruit richness. Astringent tannins generate an abrupt finish.
