Tasting notes
Very complete and seductive on the nose. Autumnal and rich at first and then really quite tight on the end. (JR)

(this is an assemblage of six vineyards): Good full red. Raspberry, rose petal and spicy, nutty oak on the aromatic nose, with faint hints of leather and tar. Sweet, chewy red berry, nutty oak and leather flavors show good depth and life in the mouth. Finishes with substantial tongue-dusting tannins and a repeating oakiness. I would drink this Barolo over the next several years before it loses its fresh fruit and floral lift.
Mid ruby with beginning of orange. Hugely seductive oak and ripe fruit nose. A little riper and sweeter than 2010, but with great acidity and succulent finish. The oak tannins are a little dry, but the finish is long and fruit driven. (WS)
Bluer than most Barolo 2009. Markedly dense fruit. More supple than many – quite distinctive. Lots of pleasure even if not the most traditional. (JR)
