2003 Oriel "Etereo" Barolo - Drew - 11-18-2012
Very floral showing rose petal and mushroom on the nose. Spicy red berry with strawberry hints and earthy, loamy mushroom flavors compete against massive, very fine grained tannins. I did detect a cinnamon note on the finish. Needs a long time to tame the tannins. I'll try another bottle in five years. 14% Alc/vol.
