Virna Barolo Preda Sarmassa 2004
Reveals ample red fruit, spice, herbs, and tobacco on a supple frame. The wine possesses notable density and persistence, yet the tannins are fully resolved, delivering a tremendous amount of pleasure. This is perfect right now and will continue to drink beautifully for another 8-10 years.
