Roulot, Meursault Vireuils Blanc other_regions The 2013 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera

The 2013 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is much showier than the Ginestra Casa Matè

There is plenty of underlying tension and energy to the mouth coating and very serious finish that displays only a touch of rusticity

It has character

but it really requires drinking much sooner than later

The visit was capped off by previews of the 2004 Cristal and the as-yet-unreleased Cristal Rose

Roulot, Meursault Vireuils Blanc other_regions The 2013 Barolo Gavarini ChinieraThis is aromatically similar if a bit more elegant and certainly more complex and with a touch more floral character as well. There is excellent energy to the detailed and ultra precise flavors that seemed to be extracted directly from liquid stone. I very much like the sense of proportion and balance here plus the overall quality is stunning for a villages level wine. This too is very much worth considering. 90 2017+
