2010 Giacomo Brezza & Figli Barolo - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (1/7/2015)
Nose: The nose is very pretty and enveloping with strawberries, red fruits, roses, tar, black cherries, mint, and some spice notes. There is nice depth with a more feminine style to the nose.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium/high and silky tannins. The structure creeps up a bit with air and becomes more noticeable. Even with the more youthful structure, there is a prettiness to the feel with strawberries, red fruits, roses, tar, and spice notes.
Overall: This is a very pretty Barolo and is a great buy for ~$40. If one is to drink it young, it should be opened now to enjoy the freshness. Otherwise, let this rest for the better part of 7-10 yrs and let it work out the nuances that are there. (91 pts.)
