2010 Barolo Le Coste
Buying options
Tasting Notes
Even more intense on the nose with a slightly more spicy edge. Some glossy depth to it. And this follows in the mouth. This is a very serious wine. It is the depth that impresses. And this goes on and is clearly the equivalent of Grand Cru Burgundy. Very, very long. Seriously brilliant wine.

The darkest and most structured of these wines, the 2010 Barolo Le Coste impresses for its balance. In 2010, the Le Coste brings together the explosiveness of the year with great depth, plenty of fruit and firm, classically austere 2010 tannins .Tar, licorice, savory herbs, menthol, smoke and licorice all flesh out on a huge, broad-shouldered frame. A final burst of fruit leaves a lasting impression. I can't wait to see how the 2010 ages. Drink: 2015 - 2030
Boasting a dark ruby color, the 2010 Barolo Le Coste follows through to the senses with powerhouse delivers of dark fruit layers and bold textural richness. This is a masculine and brawny Barolo that treads in solid, heavy footprints. It shows good complexity in the mouth where bright acidity and firm structure give the wine added dimension and personality. Drink: 2017-2027. eRobertParker.com.July, 2014
