Cascina, Barolo Adelaide Fossati other_regions_australia The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic

The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Hill is a big-time winner

I very much like the mouth feel of the distinctly mineral-tinged medium-bodied flavors that possess outstanding complexity while concluding in a tension-filled and impressively persistent finish

There is a certain similarity to the aromatic profile of the Noirots in that this also evidences notes of wood

tasty and showy

I would opt for allowing for another 5-ish years of cellaring as this will allow for a bit more resolution of the supporting structure but not so much that the finish begins drying out

Cascina, Barolo Adelaide Fossati other_regions_australia The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon VolcanicMarked by cherry, licorice and tar, this is dense and monolithic now. Vibrant, with well integrated tannins, offering a lingering aftertaste of sweet fruit and spice, with an echo of licorice. Best from 2018 through 2033. 600 cases made. BS
