GIANNI GAGLIARDO BAROLO PREVE 2001



GIANNI GAGLIARDO BAROLO PREVE 2001, now thats a name to remember. Buddy of mine made good on our Liverpool vs Arsenal triology.

Gianni Gagliardo is located in Piedmont, Italy. The Barolo, one of many to claim the title "Wine of kings, and king of wines".

An intricate, complex nose offering sweet cherries, tobacco, minerals and spices, complimenting an exquisitely structured, balanced palate with a nimble poise of sweet berries, minerality and freshness, great tannic backbone and a complex, very long after-taste. Great stuff!

Major drawback here is that it retails around RM300 a bottle but its worth every drop in my books.

Sir, hadn't seen much of wine blogger anywhere this side of the world, but thanks to you, I must say my appertite for anything about wine is satisfied for now. Keep writing about the bottles. Though I wish I have company that you have to enjoy a good bottle on a good night. Thanks.
