Cordero di Montezemolo, Barolo (Piedmont) 2010

Feb 4, 2015

By Wayne Belding

Fine Barolo is an astonishingly complex and attractive wine.  This excellent 2010 bottling offers an enchanting bouquet.  Ripe cherry, raspberry and dried strawberry fruits are followed by elements of dried rose, violet, sandalwood, tea, tobacco, vanilla and cinnamon spice.  The flavors are delicate and equally complex with the dried red fruits underlain by a woodsy, leafy / herbal nuance plus hints of dried flowers, cocoa, tea and subtle spice.  Barolos as rich and complex as this will provide great pleasure for decades.
