Cappellano, Barolo, Otin Fiorin, Pie Rupestris 1999 Cabernet Franc Late Oct 2021: not decanted

Late Oct 2021: not decanted

Medium to full-bodied and strikingly rich

youthfully austere and sneaky long finish

with a stacked mid-palate and still present

Very elegant and more finesse than power

Dark cherry, roses, tar and balsam on the nose. A beautiful Serralunga perfume. Sappy and broad on the the palate with terrific palate presence and inner mouth perfume. It was a bit tight at the beginning of the night, but with time continued to grow over the evening reaching the fantastic '95 Rupestris by the end of the night. Finishes long with firm ripe tannins.
