the Alpine is positively stellar today

As the description suggests the balance isn’t perfect but there is so much underlying material that my score offers the benefit of the doubt that this will better harmonize with a few years of bottle age

where you'll find pear and melon with a touch of under-ripe pineapple and cool stone fruits

dried herbs and earthy layers

but I imagine it will remain a brute for quite some time beyond that

Spinetta, Barolo Campe other_regions_italy the Alpine is positively stellar2000 La Spinetta Barolo Campe shows an inky dark color. With a nose of over ripe, jammy blueberry, blackberry, wood and raisin. Big, fat and concentrated, the wine shows a little heat along with dry tannins in the opulent, ripe, black cherry flavored finish. I wasn't a fan of Barolo before tasting this wine. This bottle, which is atypical for Barolo did not change my mind.
