high in alcohol and unbalanced
Fresh acidity gives the wine vibrancy and a persistent finish
Named after the stretch of sea visible from the stillhouse on Skye
prunes and rum-soaked sultanas
there are intense aromas of ripe dark fruit
Chiara Boschis - E. Pira, Barolo Cannubi Organic, 2020 (Case) Bisol high in alcohol and unbalancedImmediately evocative of Burgundy in both appearance and aroma: transparent red, with a lilting perfume of strawberries, tilled soil, pot pourri, cherry pie, Turkish delight and just a hint of hot tarmac after a summer rain shower. In the mouth, it's much bigger and more powerful than either the nose or appearance suggest. Big, chewy tannins, and flavours of white chocolate, leather, university library and new oak. Fabulous potential, but demands time
