the medium to deep garnet-purple colored 2015 Haut-Brion is reticent to begin

this wine offers sharp acidity but it also sees a 15% alcohol content plus lots of enduring sweetness and ripeness

and I suspect it will keep for 10-15 years

peppercorns and ripe red fruits leaves nothing to be desired

2016 Barolo Aleste -Galloni 98- Luciano Sandrone the medium to deep garnet-purpleGalloni 98, The 2016 Barolo Aleste is ample, creamy and expansive in feel. But more than that, the 2016 stands out for its freshness, persistence and brilliance. In so many vintages, the Aleste (formerly known as Cannubi Boschis) has been rich and powerful in feel, but in 2016, the wine is all about finesse. The red fruited, floral purity of Nebbiolo comes through beautifully here; I especially admire the wine's translucence. Wow. Antonio Galloni
