Tasting notes
Just mid ruby with bright orange tinges. A touch reductive and earthy and firm cherry fruit. This may be a Barolo classic but it really demands age. Long, tannic and tactile and still austere. (WS)

The 2010 Barolo is a gorgeous wine that is already well fleshed out despite the youthfulness of the fruit. The results are compelling and rich with velvety overtones of Amarena cherry, baking spice, tobacco, wet earth and sweet nutmeg. The oak element is evident (this base Barolo aged in botte grande from Slavonian oak for 30 months) but well on its way to finding integration within the general fleshiness of the wine. Given the high quality of fruit, this base Barolo should boast a long drinking window. Drink: 2017-2030. Importer: Soilair Selection, www.soilairselection.com
Concentrated ruby with orange tinges. Dark malt nose with lifted Marasca cherry underneath. Compact fruit framed by big tannins. Good balance and length. Not the most polished but it has a future. (WS)
