Alessandro E Gian Natale Fantino - Laboro Dissubbediente 2017 (Pre-arrival) (750ml)

Vinous 94 points
"The 2017 Laboro Disobedient is a huge, potent wine that is going to need at least a few years in bottle to shed some of its considerable baby fat. Raspberry, rose petal, cinnamon and sweet spice are all amplified in this decidedly opulent wine. Time brings out aromatic presence and plenty of underlying substance. The 2017 is a real beauty. Some years ago, the Fantino brothers had one of their Riserva Barolos rejected by the DOCG tasting commission because they submitted the required paperwork a day late. That wine became Laboro Disobedient, which has been made every year since then. The latest edition is terrific."
