The 2011 Garretti Barolo from La Spinetta delivers wonderful aromas and flavors of ripe strawberries and cherries followed by floral, eucalyptus and hints of citrus peel which resonate through the wine. A firm, yet polished Barolo that shows plenty of depth as it continues to demonstrate lovely balance with a chewy finish that shows excellent length. The Garretti is a gorgeous Barolo from Giorgio Rivetti that should continue to evolve over the course of the next decade. (Best 2016-2029) - April, 2015 (JD)
