Mauro Veglio, Barolo, Vigneto Gattera 1999 GRASSL Aromas of fennelInto neck 91 CellarTracker Mature, ruby red color. Earthy nose, complex, plum, figs, some glue "velpon". Sweet taste, dark fruit and plums, velvety, still quite some tannins. Tannins are mainly smooth, at the end a bit coarse, however these have mellowed out already wonderfully the last years. Finish is long and beautiful. Needs 1 2 years to smoothen further. 8 1 2011
