A round, fleshy red, offering aromas of flowers, cherry, licorice and tar. Firm, but exhibiting fine harmony, this should be approachable soon. Sweet fruit and mineral mark the finish. Best from 2014 through 2027. 650 cases made.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

One of the best Barolos of the year, Coste di Rose is a natural beauty with gorgeous, thick extraction and perfectly balanced aromas of blueberries, violets, almond paste, sweet spice and root beer. The wine shows impressive heft and density, yet it is elegant and polished at the same time with finely textured tannins. Cellar this delightful wine ten years or more. ——M.L.(12/1/2010)—— 95
