Giovanni Manzone Barolo Castelletto 2015
Can you say “More MANZONE”!?! Well, time to stand up on the bar/kitchen table and SCREAM it! Another whopping 95 POINTS – this time from the revered Castelletto Cru…Manzone just KILLS it...Every. Damn. Time!Â
$40 BELOW retail makes this too good to even think about passing up. And that TIME in bottle!!! Oh my, this is EPIC. The delicacy. The power. The complexity. This is everything you could want in a Barolo – all in pristine balance. SCORE! Gorgeous aromatics of dried roses, and black tea, and cranberries, with some autumnal forest duff whispering in the wind…then! Then, you taste – and this EXPLOSION of youthfulness comes rushing in – the candied violets, the macerated strawberries, crushed raspberries, blueberry pie, and red cherry notes! It’s intense…in the absolute best possible way. A rush of warming spices – star anise, clove, white pepper, nutmeg with this nice, perfectly ripe fig element that just holds and holds.Â
This is making me very, very smiley and happy…but!!! We don’t have much (and honestly didn’t expect to move through all the 2018 Gramolere sooo quickly)! But here…we…go!!! Get two, three, or twelve – there’s simply no number that could ever be enough…so just get as many as you can! Gorgeously aged Cru Barolo at this price?! INCONCEIVABLE!!!
