Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Collina Rionda Riserva Vintage:1990 mocha and spicy dark currant

mocha and spicy dark currant

blending the juice from their best lots into this entry-level Barolo

The tannins are a bit youthfully tough and a bit less noble than those of the 2012 version

The newly released 2008 Extra Brut Vintage from Billecart-Salmon is still predictably quite youthfully reticent

that is an ineffable sense of class on the driving finish

Bruno Giacosa, Barolo Collina Rionda Riserva Vintage:1990 mocha and spicy dark currantThe 1990 Barolo Riserva Collina Rionda, on the other hand is fabulous. I have had very mixed experiences with this wine over the years, but not tonight. The 1990 is rich, powerful and supple from start to finish. In other words, it is a pure 1990. Antonio Galloni
