A great debut

the tannins are remarkably soft and polished for such a young Diamond Creek wine

There is excellent richness to the bigger and more powerful medium weight plus flavors that are at once concentrated and quite serious while flashing a touch of rusticity on the slightly warm mineral-inflected finish

There is both excellent volume and richness to the mouth coating but delineated flavors that possess a refined and lacy palate impression

Vietti, Barolo Castiglione Vintage:2007 A great debutPalish ruby with orange rim. Cherry on the nose with just the beginning of mulch but overall still fresh. Juicy fruit palate with proper tannic grip on the finish. Not hugely complex but a joy to drink. (WS)
