Bruno Colin, Puligny Montrachet Truffiere other_regions_australia The 2008 Barolo Bricco Sarmassa(from 2 parcels of vines, one of which is 40+ years old and the other is still relatively young). A wonderfully elegant floral and spice suffused nose freely reveals its array of apple, pear and citrus zest scents. There is outstandingly density to the gorgeously textured medium bodied flavors that also flash an almost pungent minerality on the superbly long, balanced and Zen like finish. This is a knockout and should age accordingly.
