Fontanafredda Serralunga d'Alba DOCG 2008 Barolo (Italy) Revisited Eight Years After

 


Fontanafredda Serralunga d'Alba DOCG 2008 Barolo (Italy) Revisited Eight Years After, $14.99-$25.99 (500ml), 93 points, poured a deep garnet red with an amber sheen, much micro-sediment, a remarkably clear meniscus, and fine glass sheeting.
Aromas of steamed sweet plums, subtle notes of mint, pine needles, and minerality with a floral vibe were quite good.
This sixteen-year-old Barolo was near full-bodied, showed good acidity, shadows of fine grainy tannin, a tasty reflection of the aromas with warm pepper spices and a hint of espresso.
Finished long on the fading palate with a hint of iron and a well-balanced 14% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with our spaghetti and meatballs.
Better now than when tasted in 2016.
