Col dei Venti, Debutto (Serralunga & La Morra), Barolo, Piemonte, 2009

Tasting: Barolo 2009

Ripe cherries, sweet spices, coffee, cinnamon. Round and soft, full bodied, powerful and ripe, well-integrated tannins; long and dry finish.

Tasting: Barolo 2009

Bright, clean and sleek, but could use a little more fruit for more ‘oomph’ factor. Well made.

Tasting: Barolo 2009

Ripe, forward aromas of plum and blueberry. Fresh, ripe and juicy up front fruit with good developing flavours on the palate. Surprising breadth of flavour and aroma with good spicy notes to finish. Unusual combination but it works quite well.
