Parusso Barolo 2005




To celebrate 35 years of the label "Barolo Parusso Armando" - since 1971 the company began making wine on its own - the family decided to produce the 2005 vintage, as well as did Mr. Armando, combining the single vineyards - Mariondino in Castiglione Falletto, Bussia, Mosconi and Coste in Monforte - to create a single Barolo.

The nose begins orderly and polished, with some vanilla and sweet nuances, only to suffer the recall of vegetable and floral traits, specifically earth, underbrush and pink. Just a little bit of oxygenation launches, direct and clean, the fruity ingredients - blueberry and raspberry, orange and cherry - and a clear menthol and spicy refining the bouquet.

By the taste, I tell you that played his best cards already. Tasting proves more introverted, more elusive. Has indeed abandoned the tannic severity, becoming supple, however, can’t pulls out all that I had learned by the olfactory progression. The freshness remains good, with decent power, but a little complexity.

I'll be curious to open, further, another still available bottle, even if the skepticism I have with this vintage, complicated and enigmatic, it will be hard to overturn.
