1982 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe

The 1982 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe takes things to another level. It explodes from the glass with an array of menthol, minerals, spices and ripe fruit in the weightless yet powerful, structured style that is so typical of the 1982s. Whoever coined the phrase an “iron fist in a velvet glove” that is often used to describe Barolo must have had this wine in mind. It reveals superb precision and definition, fresh aromatics and terrific poise. Simply put this is a stunning Barolo.
