Michele Chiarlo Barolo Tortoniano 2019 skus_6063446 Louis Barruol took over from93 Points Jeb Dunnuck Layers of pine, balsamic, kirsch, and menthol emerge from the 2019 Barolo Tortoniano, balanced nicely with the floral perfume of pressed roses. A medium bodied and well structured red, it has ripe tannins, a fresh spine of acidity, and lingering notes of leather and fresh soil. It is charming now, but it certainly has the structure to drink well over the next 8 10 years. 90 Points Vinous ThisBarolo Tortoniano is very nicely done.
