Pio Cesare Barolo Mosconi 2021 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

Mosconi is thought to be one of the true "grand crus" of the commune of Monforte d'Alba, itself one the most prestigious areas within Barolo. Its soils and microclimates allow Nebbiolo to grow exceptionally well and produce styles of Barolo with great structure, incredibly unique and distinctive aromas, and big opulent tannins that are accessible and ripen, silky and rich. This regal expression of Barolo comes from old vines in Monforte d'Alba's prized Mosconi vineyard. Aromas of dusty dried cherries lead a procession down a gravel path, accompanied by black tea leaves and whispers of cigar box spice. Warmed plums and fruit compote ascend on the palate, lifted by blood orange zest and fresh cut herbs. The elegant tannins, shaped by 30 months in French oak, descend like royalty on a grand staircase, floating not walking. The finish refuses to bid farewell, lingering like the last dance at a royal ball. A wine that makes time stand still. Drink from 2027.Cellar Selection This is so floral, with violets, roses, dark fruit and lovely sandalwood and cedar. A touch of flint, too. Medium- to full-bodied with such elegance and a long and rather endless finish. It goes on and on. What a wine. Drink after 2027. Pure and expressive flavors of cherry and raspberry highlight this enticing, harmonious red, which is elegant yet well-structured, with dense tannins lining the finish. Though tight in the end, this reveals layers of mineral and savory elements, plus plenty of ripe fruit. Best from 2029 through 2047.
