The 2013 Barolo Le Coste paints a broad-stroke portrait of Nebbiolo. The wine is thickly textured and well concentrated. What it gives up in nuance, it makes up for with grit and power. The quality of fruit is ripe, dark and on the fleshy side. This expression is more succulent than your standard Barolo from this cool and tempered vintage. In fact, judging by this wine, you might think the growing season was warmer than it really was. I am suggesting a mid-term drinking window as a result.

A fresh, focused version, boasting cherry, eucalyptus, wild herb and tobacco flavors. On the beefy side, with dusty tannins gripping the long finish. Best from 2021 through 2036. 416 cases made, 150 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
