Wine Reviews
There is an earthy and minerally overlay to the ripe, dried berry fruit, grilled mountain herbs and cooked oranges. Firm and quite juicy on the palate, with a medium to full body and vertical Barolo tannins. Austere and delicious. Drink or hold.
The wine bursts with cherry cola aromas, underpinned by ripe raspberries and an abundance of spice. Sweet tannins weave through its structure, balanced by classic acidity. As the core of mixed berries leave an enduring mark while savory spices and hints of sandalwood offer an intriguing finish.
The 2020 Barolo Tortoniano is a potent, heady wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Sweet red cherry, mint, tobacco, licorice, cedar and worn in leather all open in the glass. The 2020 looks like a near-to-medium term wine, but it is nicely balanced throughout.
A spicy style, with a core of cherry and berry fruit augmented by eucalyptus, tobacco, iron and toasty oak notes. This has intensity, yet ends on the elegant side, courtesy of vibrant acidity
