Barolo, Riserva, Bricco Voghera, 2010

Whilst there is lots of interest and complex maturity on the nose, with its discrete and refined savoury notes, there is life and vibrancy too. The persistent sophisticated flavours of dried fruit, dried flower, black tea and sous bois are thread together by a perky acidity. The aromas and flavours develop further with just a little air developing into fruitier violet, cherry and dried blueberry characteristics infused with sweet Asian spice touches. Intense but dynamic and super fine tuned, a hint of the classic 2010 structure provides some bass, depth and solidity but without overpowering the exquisite refinement of the fruit. Seamless power and complexity.
