The 2010 Barolo Parussi hits its stride with an amazing bouquet that is as generous as it is complex and compelling. The wine boasts a dark ruby color with delicate amber highlights and shows a deep level of color saturation and richness. Its perfumes are redolent of sweet cherry, black fruit, dark licorice, cigar ash and wet earth. There’s a bright floral note of pressed red rose that lifts delicately as the wine warms in the glass. The meeting of the wine’s acidic component and its tannic firmness is absolutely seamless. Drink: 2017-2030. Importer: Vineyard Brands, www.vineyardbrands.com

Filled with cherry, plum, menthol and cigar box flavors, this red is rich and relatively open, with a dusting of tannins coating the finish. Cedar and sandalwood accents add grace notes. Best from 2017 through 2029. 150 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
