2006 Barolo Sori Ginestra Conterno Fantino

Mørk koncentreret vin... en maskulin sag, der har en del fad, som man bør vente på. Lige nu er den slikken, moderne i stilen, men erfaringerne fra 1996-smagningen viser, at også sådanne vine kan leve længe.

The estate's 2006 Barolo Sori Ginestra is massive and intense. Layers of aromatic nuance and complexity are backed up with powerful, dense fruit. Today the wine is quite understandably painfully young, and patience is required for the tannins to soften, but this is a highly promising Barolo. With time in the glass, the signature notes of menthol, spices, pine and minerals gain focus and clarity, giving a hint of what is in store for the future. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031.

A deep, powerful expression of dark chocolate, blackberry, tobacco and tar flavors, with a coating of dry tannins. This is a big, in-your-face kind of red, with a carefree swagger and time on its hands. Balanced on the tannic side.
