More questions
Bielle's Riserva Vieux 2008 presents a mature, restrained character, the result of a bottled expression of the 2008 vintage. On the nose it opens with warm notes of vanilla and caramel, accompanied by hints of dried fruit, chestnut honey and a delicate spicy touch; there is a lovely depth without excess, broad but not overpowering, which invites the first sip. The alcohol component is present but well integrated, offering round sensations and an elegant balance that also allows for a fresh sapidity on the aromatic finish.
On the palate it confirms a soft, compact development: full body, barely perceptible tannins and a persistence that brings back sweet and slightly toasted aromas. The texture of the sip is warm and enveloping, with a long, clean finish that lingers on memories of roasted almond and a hint of sweet spice. It lends itself to slow tasting, as an after-dinner drink, but also pairs well with dark chocolate, desserts based on dried fruit or aged cheeses; it can be appreciated neat or with a drop of water to open up its aromas.
