Ferdinando Principiano, Barolo Boscareto Size:6x750ml with a smoky mineral noteThe 2006 Barolo Boscareto is marked by fierce tannins that arent likely to ever integrate. I imagine this powerful, unyielding Barolo spent too much time in oak. It is hard to see the 2006 ever being in balance. Anticipated maturity, 2012 2016.
