Fondreche, Ventoux Il Etait Une Fois Size:12x750ml The 2008 Barolo Bricco Sarmassa

The 2008 Barolo Bricco Sarmassa is fabulous

even in the company of all the truly great Massetos

Offering up aromas of candied citrus peel

This will require plenty of patience from those fortunate enough to acquire a few bottles but the good news is that it will live for years to come
