The entry-level 2010 Barolo shows a great level of sophistication, depth and offers suburb value at a very attractive price tag. Its appearance is brooding and dark and the bouquet shows a slow and steady aromatic evolution. Pretty layers of spice, leather, anise seed and blue flower fill in the rear. Thick grains and lush texture characterize the lovely mouthfeel. Drink: 2017-2025.
