Parusso 2012 Barolo

Country: Italy /
Variety: Nebbiolo Piedmont
Winery: Parusso / Barolo

This opens with aromas that recall weedy underbrush, crushed dill, camphor, saline, hay and a hint of orange rind. The evolved palate offers roasted coffee bean, licorice and a confectionary note but it lacks fruit richness. Astringent but fleeting tannins dry out the finish.
