This shows lots of licorice and tar with a fruity undertone. Full-bodied, with chewy tannins and a long, rich finish. Mouthpuckering. Built for aging. This is very impressive for this producer. Best after 2008. 950 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Here’s a wine that shows the aging potential of Nebbiolo. This Barolo offers layers of dried currant, cassis, licorice, natural rubber, white spirit and a dusty, black mineral element. It’s a very linear and sharply focused wine that flaunts its power and persistency. A crisp, firm finish suggests the wine will continue to age.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 92
