Estimate
Forest berries, underbrush, rose and menthol aromas lead the nose along with a potpourri of varied spices...palate is a stunning combination of structure and finesse, delivering small red berries, baking spices and the vineyard's iconic minty accents framed in silky tannins. Licorice notes lingers on the finish.
...pretty lacework of aromas with smaller berry fruits, crushed stone, rusty nail, pressed lilac or blue flower and a dusting of spicy licorice powder...bouquet is vertical and tight, leading to a very precise succession of varietal tones that flavor the wine's polished finish.
Nice mix of deep, ripe red fruit and oaky spice. Medium-to full-bodied with a robust framework of tannin and a richly spiced, fruity finish.
...attractive mid-weight wine. Dark red/cherry plum fruit, mocha, leather, spice and incense all grace this supple, silky Barolo.
Quite pure and focused with shy cherry fruit and hints of black tea leaves. Pure and gentle on the palate with a fine acidic nerve running through the ripe fruit. Soft, grainy but persistent tannins on the finish. Long, gentle sappy and elegant on the finish and finely balanced.
