Ettore Germano – Prapo 2014 – Barolo 

The nose is fruity, aromatic, elegant and offers delicacy as well as a very fine richness / power (in the background). It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and small red berries combined with hints of elderberry, chocolate, toasted as well as discreet hints of Cuben / gray pepper, garrigue and a very discreet hint of spices. The palate is fruity, well-balanced, fat and offers a good definition, precision, a mineral frame, a good guideline, a small acidulous sensation, a small juiciness and tension. On the palate this wine expresses notes of ripe / crushed red berries, crushed bigarreau cherry and small notes of elderberry, blackberry associated with fine touches of violet, chocolate, caramelization as well as an imperceptible hint of mushroom (in the background). Tannins are fine and very slightly tight and firm.
