The 2012 'Giachini' another fantastic Barolo from Giovanni Corino in this vintage. Fresh and inviting as it instantly opens with sweet dark cherries and red berries followed by eucalyptus, spices, smoke and dried floral. On the palate this is beautifully balanced with a gorgeous fine, silky texture which continues on through the long lingering finish. Overall, this is a superb Barolo which should continue to become even more compelling will bottle age. (Best 2017-2028) - June, 2016 (JD)
