Ettore Germano Barolo Prapo 2009 Magnum

WA 94 pts

The 2009 Barolo Prapo perhaps takes that ripeness to the extreme limit. In addition to black fruit and plum, this wine lavishes over a thick layer of oak-inspired spice, tobacco and cinnamon. The style will appeal to those who enjoy full-bodied Barolo with more density and heft. It definitely needs more time in the bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2028.
