    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    Bottled on its own for the first time in 2010. From middle and lower middle part of the vineyard that touches Cerequio at the bottom. A lot more open knit and less muscular than the 2010. Sweetly-scented , attractive, ripe fruit with a complex, but not too decadent, maturity running through it. Sweet Victoria plum fruit with a touch of strawberry, overlaying muskier sous bois, truffle and liquorice notes. Pliable, smooth but layered and with plenty of interest. Aged for two years in a mix of big and small barrels, light toast, French oak (15, 20, 30 and 35 HL sizes for the big barrels) followed by seven years in bottle before release.

    Antonio Galloni,

    The 2011 Barolo Riserva 10 Anni Case Nere wraps around the palate with stunning, utterly sensual beauty. Sweet floral notes meld into expressive red stone fruits in a lifted, perfumed Barolo built on aromatics and silkiness. Exotic orange peel and tangerine notes add brightness on the finish.
