Tasting notes
Dark crimson. A complex mix of prunes and autumn mulch. Quite concentrated and very dry. Masses of tannin. Not the freshest fruit. Did this get a little shrivelled? (JR)

The 2010 Barolo Liste is utterly seductive and charming from start to long finish. This wine awards a high pleasure quota with the proverbial opulence and hedonistic plumpness that is not easy to achieve with the austere Nebbiolo grape. The Liste vineyard delivers the natural characteristics that are appropriate for dark and shapely wines. Thick extraction is followed by dark fruit, pressed blackberry, exotic spice, cola and balsam herb. It ages for two years in oak and two years in bottle, but it needs more time to lose its baby fat. Drink this bottle after 2018.
This is so rich and decadent but there is a polish at the same time. Full body, velvety tannins and a precise, beautiful finish. Better in 2016.
