2010 Silvio Grasso Barolo

This is deep and rich with dried berries and cherries on the nose and palate with dried berry, mineral and floral character. It?s full body, with silky tannins and fruity finish. Yet there is beautiful tannin to the wine with the interplay of tannins, acidity and fruit. Better in 2015. Review Date: March 2014

The 2010 Barolo is a dark, brooding wine with a stratospheric level of intensity that leaves a lasting impression on both the nose and the mouth. The wine wraps thickly around the palate, with plush, fruit-driven layers of concentration and supple density. The base Barolo is aged in barrique for two years and those lush oak influences are woven deep within its texture. It shows good complexity but is almost ready to drink now. Drink: 2015-2024.
