a blend of 80% Roussanne and 20% white Grenache fermented 80% in tank and 20% in barrel

I should note that Vietti plans to release a 2006 Barolo Riserva Villero

the 2012 acquits itself nicely

taut and linear with satisfying freshness and poise on the finish

Arlaud, Morey Saint Denis Rouge Vintage:2016 a blend of 80% Roussanne(from Clos Solon and En Seuvrey). Strong reduction flattens the underlying fruit. The slightly tighter medium weight flavors possess good delineation and punch before terminating in a saline and mildly austere finale. This will need a year or two of bottle age to better harmonize as its somewhat awkward today. (87 89) 2021+
