The 2012 Barolo Terlo is a shapely and nicely balanced Nebbiolo that shows both power and elegance. The wine delivers bright fruit with bold cherry and cassis that are immediately recognizable. As the bouquet opens, the wine offers pretty layers of ash, smoke, licorice, cola and rose hip. Overall, the wine delivers a great sense of balance and this is not an easy feat in the low-key 2012 vintage.
