Medium evolved red. The 1978 Brunate is fully mature. It offers aromas of spices, cocoa, underbrush and leather along with notes of licorice and menthol that develop in the glass. On the palate it displays perfumed red fruit with excellent length and a tannic structure that is still not completely resolved. La Morra Barolos are often described as early maturing, and I find it quite an achievement that this wine is in such great shape after nearly 30 years. That said, there is little upside in cellaring this wine further as the fruit will fade before the tannins integrate.
