AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The Smeraldi 1868 estate produces a confidential Barolo DOCG that has not received an official rating from major international critics (such as James Suckling, Jancis Robinson, Antonio Galloni or Decanter). However, based on the house's technical specifications and the year's profile, here is what is known about this bottle.
Tasting profile of Barolo Smeraldi 1868
This family estate applies a traditional winemaking method, Smeraldi 1868:
• Color: Well-proportioned ruby red.
• Nose: A broad, persistent bouquet, marked by classic floral notes of rose, evolving toward more complex hints of leather and tar (tar and roses).
• Palate: A full-bodied, balanced, and structured wine.
The 2018 vintage behavior in Barolo
The lack of a rating can also be explained by the very local production of this cuvée. To gauge the quality of your bottle, the 2018 vintage is characterized by:
• A softer, fruitier, and more approachable profile from youth compared with massive, closed vintages like 2016 or 2019.
• Silky tannins and a nice aromatic freshness.
• A slightly shorter aging potential (generally best to drink between 2024 and 2032).
- Parker points: no rating
- Fill level (cork)
- Label condition (Excellent)
- Capsule condition (slightly damaged)
- 750 ml
- Bottling (Estate bottled)
- Ready to drink or to age
- Shipping method: La Poste (Colissimo, etc..,)
