2016 Barolo Gavarini Vigna Chiniera, Elio Grasso, Piedmont
Thie 2016 Vigna Chiniera is more closed at this stage than the Casa Mate, curiously (it's often the inverse). This is powerful and structured, with tons of intense fruit and a beautiful vibrant acidity. There's so much latent energy here, with power too. This is such a brilliant wine: but will need time to come around.
