Perhaps not ready as a quality Barolo at only 10 years old but as Luciano passed away earlier this year it is an opportunity to toast a seminal figure in Barolo. Aromas of red and black fruits along with iron, plum skins, with touches of mint, cherry and tar. A powerful red finishing with fine powdery dry tannins. Drink the remaining 2 bottles in the rest of this decade.

This afternoon was a treat having the 2013 Luciano Sandrone La Vigne Barolo.

On the nose was some alcohol at first that blew off with a little time, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, licorice, tar, clove, rose petal, leather and earth.

On the palate you will find cherry, raspberry, plum, licorice, clove, mint, spice and dusty earth.

This wine is full bodied and a powerful mouthfeel with medium + acidity and medium + to high smooth sandy tannins that leads to a long elegant fruit finish. A beautiful wine that won't disappoint. Enjoy the coming weekend and please stay safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
