Virna Borgogno 2009 Cannubi Boschis (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Virna Borgogno / Cannubi Boschis

This opens with evident oak aromas of toasted wood, espresso and coffee bean followed by underpinnings of black fruit and pepper. The palate shows ripe black fruit, espresso and oak. Although it has nice depth, the finish is cut short by by drying wood tannins.
