persistence and refinement

cool earth and a hint of anise

Here too the middle weight flavors are quite racy though with much more minerality that really emerges on the beautifully persistent finish where the firm core of ripe acidity makes clear that this beauty is going to require patience

Andrea Oberto, Barolo Vintage:2010 persistence and refinementThe 2010 Barolo represents a terrific effort and shows a level of aromatic purity and intensity that sets it apart. Soft cherry and blackberry is enhanced by bursts of clove, leather, cola and exotic tobacco. Obertos use of oak renders spice tones that are enduring but not overwhelming. Soft tannins and a richly layered mouthfeel make this wine appropriate for near term drinking. Drink, 2016 2025.
