It's an essence of Barolo but today the wine's tannins are preventing it from really coming alive

powerful and muscular flavors are imposingly-scaled while the abundance of dry extract makes for a velvety mouth feel

toast and exotic spices over a core of baked apples and floral perfume

Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs

Roberto Voerzio describes 2008 as a year that was cold from start to finish

Noon, Eclipse Size:6x750ml It's an essence of Barolo(made from a blend of 60% grenache, 30% shiraz, 5% cabernet sauvignon and 5% graciano), Deep ruby. Pungent, intensely perfumed aromas of candied cherry, blueberry and rose. Deeply pitched black and blue fruit flavors show impressive energy and breadth, with zesty acidity adding lift. Finishes fresh and appealingly sweet, leaving floral and spice notes behind. Josh Raynolds
