The second Riserva personally overseen by Franco Biondi Santi arrived in a moderate season
Intense aromas of black raspberry

The fiber of the wine is slightly more robust compared to the annata 2014 Barolo that I tasted in this same flight
Marc Delienne, Fleurie Abbaye Road Size:6x1.5L The second Riserva personally overseenThe 2015 Fleurie Abbaye Road is superb, bursting with scents of creamy black cherries, grilled meat, dried rose petals and wood smoke. On the palate, it's full bodied, layered and complete, with a multidimensional core, considerable concentration and remarkable energy despite its rich, atypically powerful profile. When I first encountered this wine, shortly after release, it showed a touch of volatile acidity that was imperceptible in these bottles.
