    This Barolo shows funky aromas of rubber and animal—common for the scorching 2009 vintage in this area. Despite its core of dark cherry fruit, this is very astringent and brutally tannic, with a short finish. Don't think this will evolve well.

    From the Monforte d'Alba area of Barolo production, this lovely wine shows wonderful intensity and a bold, chewy feel. There are ripe fruit aromas, meaty notes of beef jerky and ethereal tones of licorice and cola. The wine is full and generous in the mouth with a spicy finish.
