The 2018 Barolo Gramolere is another gorgeous wine from Alessandria. It has the same translucent character I saw from barrel. The tannins remain a bit edgy, perhaps because of what appears to be a bit less fruit depth. Savory, floral and mineral notes abound in this mid-weight, classically built Barolo from Fratelli Alessandria. 94 points

Underbrush and camphor aromas mingle with whiffs of pressed rose. On the linear, focused palate, polished tannins and fresh acidity accompany dried cherry and star anise before closing on a hint of mocha. 92 points
