2012 Cappellano Barolo Pie Rupestris Otin Fiorin (Gabutti) 750ml

Reviews: Vinous, "...super-refined and nuanced. Expressive floral notes and bright, red-toned fruit lift from the glass in this very pretty, elegant Rupestris. Silky tannins add to the wine's considerable appeal. In most vintages, Rupestris is a bigger wine, but the 2012 is especially elegant. The 2012 captures the essence of what makes Barolo such a compelling wine - above all else, power without excess weight. Stated simply, the 2012 is a total knockout. Although it is early, at this stage I prefer it slightly to the Franco. AG" 18 points Jancis Robinson , "Really rich and wild. Gypsy-cream biscuits! Such persistence. Difficult to spit this one as it offers so much. Rich without being sweet. So exciting! (JR)"
