Renato Ratti, Barolo Marcenasco Size:12x750ml Discreet but not invisible oak

Discreet but not invisible oak influence does not really intrude upon the transparency of the red berry fruit

he knew they were not destined for blending away

When the wine hits the palate

Renato Ratti, Barolo Marcenasco Size:12x750ml Discreet but not invisible oakLa Morra. Dark, maturing ruby with orange rim. Oak and dried fruit on a nose that is a little facile. Ripe and slightly charred and creamy on the finish and with lots of coating tannins. A little constructed, but will be more compelling with a little age. (WS)
