Mint and eucalyptus aromas greet the senses, backed up by flavors of cherry, tar and licorice. The texture is chewy, yet overall this has an elegant profile and remains focused and taut through the berry- and mineral-tinged aftertaste. Best from 2015 through 2035. 1,050 cases made

From the Serralunga subzone of Barolo, this classic rendition of Nebbiolo opens with an orange-garnet color segueing into delicate aromas of licorice, mesquite, dried prune or plum and drying mineral notes. The wine presents a focused, linear feel in the mouth. Very nice

Voluptuous tannins provide the density of this wine’s texture, while the fruit sustains freshness, skittering over the tannins and alcohol and lasting in the finish. While seemingly gentle on the surface, the firm struc­ture underneath warrants a few years of cellar time. Enotec Imports, Denver, CO
