Beautiful nose with blue and red fruits, caramel, light oak, cooked cherries, red currants and tobacco leaf.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, earth, chocolates, tobacco, espresso and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 10 year old Barolo is still fresh and vibrant. Delicious and easy drinking with a great mouthfeel. Complex and well balanced. Tangy and interesting.
Already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years and beyond.
Gorgeous, elegant and robust. A great sipping wine to share with friends and talk about.
100% Nebbiolo grapes were aged in large Slavonian oak barrels for 6 years.
14% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$200.

Fantastic wine, but price is tough though. Was it a restaurant purchase?
I can pick up a 2016 riserva for 75~ usd.

In Europe they’re definitely cheaper. We visited the winery, where you can buy older vintages. This was 3-4 years ago, and back then you could buy 1996, 2001 and 2006 for around 150$. The latest vintages were around 50-60$.
