Azelia, Barolo Bricco Fiasco Vintage:2010 and the 2013 Barolo Riserva

and the 2013 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is a true standout in the appellation

This knockout wine will age splendidly and will likely merit an even higher score in eight to ten years’ time

There is a slightly finer mouth feel to the equally large-scaled flavors where the supporting tannins are notably fine-grained that imparts a different texture

I suspect one will emerge from the different lots of Les Bessards that I tasted as 2009 is certainly a year where enough wine can be culled out for the Cathelin without sacrificing the monumental quality of the regular Hermitage

though it gains in volume and solidity on the palate
