The 2010 Barolo Vigna Rionda Riserva is a generous and forthcoming wine that presents wave after wave of aromatic intensity. This Riserva is beautifully stitched together with precision and artistry. There is a solid core of black fruit that is surrounded by seamless tones of black cherry, spice, balsam herb and toasted anise seed. The wine is powerful and graceful all at once. The wine should age forward over the next part of the next 20 years.
