點擊次數(shù)：4786

Notes of chocolate cherries, dried strawberries, black licorice, cocoa and moist earth. Firm and taut with a full body and chalky texture. Dry and a little austere at the end with a tight, spicy finish. Better after 2026.

Though a bit rigid, this red features cherry, black currant, iron and leafy underbrush flavors. Light-bodied, this is sustained by a layer of firm, dusty tannins. Best from 2025 through 2038. 1,666 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Made with fruit from some of the estate's younger Nebbiolo vines (that average 25 years old today), the Paolo Conterno 2019 Barolo Riva del Bric shows a very pretty bouquet with good intensity. You will have no problem deciphering the varietal tones of wild cherry, blue flower, blood orange and iron ore. The mouthfeel is long and polished (and the alcohol content is one degree lower, at 14.5%, compared to the Ginestra).

Velvety in texture, evoking macerated plum, cherry, menthol, iron, tar and toasty spice flavors. This red is firm, yet the tannins are civilized, and it ultimately turns dusty in the end. Best from 2025 through 2040. 1,600 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

The 2018 Barolo Riva del Bric (with 20,000 bottles released) shows mature fruit with dried cherry and baked plum. The wine also exhibits a good amount of spice and tarry leather, giving it extra heft and concentration. There's some bitterness too, with a hint of astringency on the rigid, young tannins that need more time to relax. The high 15% alcohol content is unfortunate, but it's common in this vintage.
