My Italian friend Danilo shared with me his tasting notes for some of the 2007 Barolo - Agostino Bosco La Serra and Enzo Boglietti Fossati. I cannot resist the temptation to pull the cork off for the 2 bottles last week.
Agostino Bosco La Serra. Having drank the 2006 and bought quite a few bottles for my cellar, I am happy to have placed order for the 2007. The 07 smells of rose on the nose. It took a while to open up. It tasted of berries, plum, tar and the coat of tannin that follows is long. Drinking it now is infanticide. Somehow, on the 1st taste it lacked of structure. After 30 minutes, the wine is simply delicious. It tasted better the next day. Have potential to improve further. In my view, value for money.
Enzo Boglietti Fossati. On the nose, the wine is floral. The 1st taste brought me to the edge of the forest into a plain of flowers. It had cedar wood, rose, berries etc. After it opened up, the power of its fruit is overwhelming. It reminded me of the Enzo Cabernet 2007! The difference is that Fossati is a gentle lady while the Cabernet brings about the "wild" edge. This wine is ready to drink now. Beautiful....
