Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Good bright, dark red. Knockout pure, vibrant nose of dark fruits, espresso and flowers accented by pungent minerality. Youthful and stylish, with harmonious ripe acidity energizing the middle palate. This wine depends as much on its ripe, juicy acidity as on its suave, fine-grained tannins for shape and structure. In a rather Burgundian style, finishing very fresh but not reduced.

Deeply colored and spicy, this features vanilla and resin accents to the black cherry and plum core. The tannins are assertive, but this gains richness and harmony with air. Tightly woven, with fine length. Best from 2017 through 2030.

The 2010 Barolo Arborina shows a more evident oak presence especially at this young stage in the wine’s evolutionary course. Sweet flower, dried cherry, moist tobacco, Spanish cedar and exotic spice come into full view with a few swirls of the glass. Its overall fabric is thick and chewy with layers of dark fruit and toasted nut woven deep within. Drink: 2017-2030.

A firm vein of tannin runs through the 2010 Barolo Arborina. Bright, fresh and nicely delineated, the 2010 is endowed with gorgeous energy and vibrancy. There is plenty of Veglio's trademark softness in the glass to match the spine of Arborina. Mint, rose petals and sweet red berries linger on the finish. This is a beautiful vintage for the Arborina.

A Barolo with concrete, blackberry and cherry character. Medium to full body, fine tannins and refined finish. More elegant style of Arborina. Needs a year or two of bottle age: Drink in 2016.

Alluring aromas including crushed flower, underbrush, espresso and subtle oak carry over to the palate along with raw cherry, roasted coffee bean and dried sage. It's still austere, with astringent tannins that give a drying finish. Drink 2018–2030.
