and for all of the botrytization in effect

The palate is medium-bodied with fine grain tannins

Satin-like in texture

slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish

Elio Grasso, Barolo Ginestra Casa Mate Vintage:2015 citrus fruitsGrasso's 2013 Barolo Ginestra Casa Mat is powerful, deep and tightly wound, with a level of translucent energy that is alluring. Deceptively medium in body, the 2013 packs a real punch. The Casa Mat has also closed down considerably since I last tasted it. Not that that should be a problem, as the 2013 really needs a number of years to be at its very best. Antonio Galloni
