2009 Luciano Sandrone Le Vigne, Barolo DOCG, Italy 1.5L

"The 2009 Barolo Le Vigne shows class and pedigree with bright fruit tones carefully wrapped within the wine?s elegant texture. The purity and the intensity of the wine are exceptional, especially when compared to other Barolos from this vintage. The bouquet is polished and long, with pristine accents of spice, licorice and anise seed. Made with fruit sourced from various parcels, this wine speaks with a strong and confident tone."
