點擊次數(shù)：5327

Spiced cherries, ground cloves, bark, nutmeg, dried strawberry bush and earthy undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, racy and spicy on the palate with very fine, chalky tannins. Lingering and velvety. Drink or hold.

The 2010 Barolo Roggeri delivers a point of aromatic intensity that is a notch higher and more profound compared to the other wines from Ciabot Berton in this vintage. The bouquet offers shapely tones of black fruit with lots of tar, asphalt and smoke at the back. The results are attractive, albeit on the aggressive side. The wine shows budding tertiary aromas that are already at the heart of the wine's personality and identity. There is little fresh fruit left.

The 2009 Barolo Roggeri is an immediate and easy-drinking wine. It clearly shows the intensity and the warmth of the 2009 vintage thanks to ripe aromas of dark fruit and prune. But it also delivers the elegance of La Morra with balanced intensity and background tones of licorice, tar and spice. The wine exhibits a very balanced approach with a chewy and satisfying finish. Tasted seven years after the harvest, this Barolo shows good overall equilibrium.

The estate’s 2008 Barolo Roggeri is much more in the style that has been the estate’s Achilles heel over the years. Dark berries, mocha, licorice, tar and spices struggle to emerge, but ultimately the French oak is simply too much for the wine’s mid-weight personality. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2018.

A warm red, exuding tar, tobacco, cherry, floral and sun-baked earth aromas and flavors, with a long, spicy finish. This still has the chewy texture courtesy of the tannins, but is developing nicely. Best from 2014 through 2026. 500 cases made, 300 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
