Tasting notes
Even more intense on the nose with a slightly more spicy edge. Some glossy depth to it. And this follows in the mouth. This is a very serious wine. It is the depth that impresses. And this goes on and is clearly the equivalent of Grand Cru Burgundy. Very, very long. Seriously brilliant wine.

Boasting a dark ruby color, the 2010 Barolo Le Coste follows through to the senses with powerhouse delivers of dark fruit layers and bold textural richness. This is a masculine and brawny Barolo that treads in solid, heavy footprints. It shows good complexity in the mouth where bright acidity and firm structure give the wine added dimension and personality. Drink: 2017-2027. Importer: Banville Wine Merchants, www.banvillewine.com
Barolo. Unusually deep ruby with orange tinges. Oak and really sweet fruit and lots of acidity giving a nice contrast. Firm grip and lots of fruit on this finish. Solid build. Popular but well made. (WS)
Barolo. Concentrated ruby with some development. Smoky, savoury nose with a sweet layer of fruit. A little exotic and rich. Unusual but has lots of stuffing as well as a good acidic frame. Loads of grainy tannins. (WS)
