On the mid palate

Electric acidity imparts energy

dense and stimulatingly salty and crystalline Chaume that offers remarkable drinkability and gastronomic talent due to its fine piquancy on the salty-grippy finish that doesn't take away the sweetness but lifts it

Golden yellow color with salmon reflections

offering juicy black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a suggestion of five-spice powder

Guido Porro Vigna S. Caterina, Barolo DOCG, Italy 2020 Bodegas Nekeas On the mid palateVery expressive on the second tasting. Demur on the first. Sumptuous aromas of pickled cherry, thyme, anise and polished leather. A broad swathe of tannins, beautifully managed and so nestled into the greater whole that this is already approachable. So open knit, in fact, so much so that one does not feel guilty in breaching it now. It may be at the puppy fat stage, of course, but this is really delicious. Drink or, better, hold for a decade.
