Tasting notes
The strawberry, light cherry, hazelnut and dust character are thought-provoking in this wine. It’s full-bodied, chewy and polished with a line of tannins that provide a beautiful frame for this wine. Just starting to be agreeable and positive. Drink or hold.

Black fruit, smoke, tobacco, licorice and incense all blossom in Roberto Voerzio's 2010 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Case Nere. Firm tannins provide the backdrop in a Barolo that stands out for its dark, brooding personality. The quality of the tannins is quite similar to that found in La Serra, which lies right next to Fossati. There is an explosiveness to the 2010 that is just waiting to emerge, which I am fairly certain will...in time. Recent bottles of the 2003 and 2004 have been superb.
