The 2009 Barolo shows a steady progression of cherry, blackberry and tar followed by very clean and polished tones of licorice, tar and crushed mineral. The wine’s dark consistency and medium body bode well for five years of aging or more. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2023. Various American Importers, including: De Grazia Imports, Republic; MO; tel.
