Casa E di Mirafiore Lazzarito Barolo DOCG 2016 (WE 96)

Wine Enthusiast 96 points.
This is without a doubt the most prestigious Mirafiore vineyard. The grapes that thrive here in the tailor-made harmony of terroir and climatic conditions are the perfect basis for a world-class Barolo of great structure and long life. The soil is on a slope (350-400 m above sea level) in a south / south-west facing position and is of sedimentary marine origin (Miocene-Helvetic era) with a high content of gray-white marl limestone.
Muscular start with a lot of ripe, but powerful tannins. The abundance of aromas is overwhelming even in its youth. Bay bush, nutmeg, cedar wood, wild berry compote, liquorice, tobacco, mint, rosemary, cinnamon and dried mushrooms. Great finale! Impetuously young with endless potential for the next few years. This wine must be decanted for 2 hours in the first few years.
