Dark, rich and enveloping, the 2012 Barolo Ginestra Casa Mat¬ wraps around the palate with serious intensity. The flavors are deep and boldly sketched throughout. Plum, black cherries, menthol, licorice and cloves build to the voluptuous, explosive finish. The Barolo Ginestra Vigna Casa Mat¬ is another wine that is going to require considerable time in bottle, but it is fabulous, even at this very early stage. The Casa Mat¬ is one of the most vivid, dramatic Barolos of the vintage. Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Aromas of flowers, strawberry and dried sage come through. Full-bodied, firm and tannic. Chewy tannins yet polished and fine texture. Subtle and flavorful. Drink in 2020. James Suckling
