Kirkland Barolo
![]() | 2020 Barolo DOCG. I thought I would try the Barolo and Brunello Kirkland brands. Nice nose with fresh fruits and a bit of cherry. Too harsh on the first sips. It needs some decanting but it did soften as I drank a glass over 30 minutes. I usually drink a bottle over a few days, so I expect it to get better. Light bodied, red fruits, a bit of leather maybe and wood. Fairly short finish with not a lot of complexity. Not terribly well balanced. For $20, it’s not bad. I’ve only had a handful of Barolos but they were properly aged. I don’t know enough yet to determine how good a wine would be after a few years in the cellar, this one might be a little better, but I don’t think it will ever be fantastic. I’d give it an 89. I will post when I try the Super B. [link] [comments] |
