Borgogno : Riserva 1988

1988 Barolo, pure Nebbiolo from Piedmont

The 1988 Barolo Riserva of Borgogno is a scrumptious wine from Piedmont that shows the Borgogno traditional skills. This pure Nebbiolo offers a garnet-tinted dark red colour with carmine red highlights. On the nose, the bouquet is frank and remarkably complex. It expresses cinnamon, fleshy cherry, leather, liquorice and Virginia tobacco fragrances. The attack is precise, slightly nervous thanks to a well-dosed acidity. This 1988 Barolo Riserva evolution is ample, carried by noble and distinguished tannins. It shows then a luscious palate with fruity flavours.
