Barolo Tre Tine shows silky but firm tannins and balanced acidity

Under those conditions

My impression is that the Costa Russi and Conteisa are the most likely of these 2007s to offer the widest drinking windows throughout their lives with a minimum of cellaring

which is unusual for this wine that has often been more bombastic

incense and orange peel are all very much alive in the glass

Pegau, Chateauneuf Du Pape Laurence other_regions_italy Barolo Tre Tine shows silkyBrilliant ruby. A wild, highly perfumed bouquet evokes candied dark berries, smoky minerals and licorice, with a sexy floral note emerging with air. Sappy, penetrating and sweet on the palate, offering intense black raspberry and lavender pastille flavors that put on weight with air. Shows surprising vivacity for a hot year wine and finishes spicy, focused and very long, leaving a note of spicecake behind. Josh Raynolds
