title: Gianni Gagliardo 2009 Preve Riserva  (Barolo)
description: Aromas espresso, toasted oak and a whiff of exotic spice lead the nose while the evolved palate shows mocha, oak and a note of dried black cherry before a rather abrupt finish. It's shy on freshness and lacks the fruit richness needed to stand up to the dominant wood sensations.
variety: Nebbiolo
designation: Preve Riserva
