This shows incredible depth of fruit and intensity for the vintage with a full body yet super integrated and refined tannins. The texture is spellbinding. It caresses every inch of your palate. Fabulous. Only magnum. Try in 2019. (Mar 2014) www.jamessucking.com

The 2010 Barolo Sarmassa (tasted in a magnum) opens to soft, toasted notes of exotic spice, clove and black pepper.

Davide and Roberto cut away up to two thirds of each cluster in the vineyard to ensure evenness in ripening. All barrique Drink: 2017-2034. Jun 2014, www.robertparker.com
