I enjoy this precisely because I can pair it with several meal types: from chicken soup to linguine alle vongole…it works with food

as well as fusil

great middle and finish

Mauro Veglio, Barolo, Vigneto Gattera 1999 TAR-ROSES with notes of spice boxInto neck 91 CellarTracker Mature, ruby red color. Earthy nose, complex, plum, figs, some glue "velpon". Sweet taste, dark fruit and plums, velvety, still quite some tannins. Tannins are mainly smooth, at the end a bit coarse, however these have mellowed out already wonderfully the last years. Finish is long and beautiful. Needs 1 2 years to smoothen further. 8 1 2011
