Tasting notes
This is a Barolo that shows iodine, plums and hints of hazelnut. Full body, with velvety tannins and a fresh finish. I love the texture to this. Better in 2015.

Smudgy ruby. Delicious aroma of sweet red fruit, lifted and perfumed, just a touch of vanilla. I just want to stay on the aroma, it is so attractive. Opening up to something more savoury like liquorice. Herbs, too, so expressive already. Firm, compact tannins, a slight warmth but sufficient freshness to balance the aclohol. Masses of pleasure and more to come. Tangy, spicy long finish. (JH)
Corino's 2009 Barolo is soft, round and accessible. Dark cherries, plums, mocha and cloves flesh out in this generous, inviting Barolo. The 2009 is already quite soft and polished. It should drink well pretty much upon release. The estate's Barolo is made from two vineyards in the Annunziata district of La Morra.
