Tasting notes
Deep and plush on the nose with rich fruit that is contained by fine linear tannins on the palate. Well defined and very much together. Showing very well already.

Novello. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Spectacular nose of undergrowth and cherry and minerally stony notes. Iron. Succulent, waxy cherry fruit with a rich layer of coating tannins. Fantastic balance and length. Tactile fireworks and complexity on the finish. (WS)
Wild berries and a touch of herbs and a stemmy freshness (though I don't know if they include any whole bunch). Refined from the outset. Juicy, sweet-fruited. Much more giving than many on the palate at the moment even with compact tannins. (JH)
The 2010 Barolo Ravera shows extreme elegance and precision with dark fruit, spice, dried tobacco, hazelnut and black truffle. The Ravera cru makes rich and powerful wines and Elvio Cogno has masterfully captured these territorial qualities. Drink: 2016-2028. Importer: Elvio Cogno, Sausalito, CA; tel. (917) 699-2647
