Aromas of praline, honey, orange peel and cherries follow through to a full body, chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Beautiful intensity and power.

The 2015 Barolo Villero offers richness and darkness with fruit from Castiglione Falletto, and it's one of the more intense wines I tasted within this selection. The Villero is a balanced and polished Barolo that opens to nicely integrated fruit and spice tones, expertly interwoven and united. The wine has a beautiful entry to the palate. Indeed, this pretty wine presented a united front, with seamless and graceful integration.

The 2015 Barolo Villero is a very pretty, mid-weight wine. Silky tannins andbeautifully expressive aromatics give the Villero considerable finesse. Onthe palate, though, the 2015 is far less expressive. That is not entirelysurprising, as the Villero often needs a few years to truly blossom. Sweetfloral and spice notes start to open with time in the glass, but the Villero isnot an especially forthcoming 2015 Barolo.
