Our Italian buyer, Leo, think this special parcel of Barolo may be his buying coup of the year! Piedmont's prized red is known for demanding a high price. However, when a winery (we're forbidden to name) is keen to move a batch fast, it usually comes as a great deal. Even when it's from such an applauded vintage. Antoni Galloni described it as "full of truly spectacular, breathtaking wines that capture all the pedigree of Barolo". The grapes are from the same hillsides as elite names, including the great £65-a-bottle Vajra. Plus, this wine has received 90+ scores from both top critics James Suckling and Wine Advocate. It's a mesmirising wine, long aged in barrel. Decant early to allow the dark chocolatey, cherry and violet notes to open.
