1997 Aldo e Riccardo Seghesio Barolo Vigneto la Villa

Oliveto Restaurant (Oakland) is always a pleasure. We took along a bottle of 1997 Aldo e Riccardo Seghesio Barolo Vigneto la Villa – Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (4/23/2010)
Light bodied and delicate. Like fine china, I literally thought I needed to drink gently in order not to break it. Black cherry, licorice, aged balsamic vinegar, a touch of wet earth. Not decanted, this was a lovely, elegant wine to enjoy now. It started to fade after a couple of hours. Not a long term ager. (90 pts.)
