Deep Ruby color with a bouquet of fruit, herbs and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of herb pepper, floral and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, ok balance with fine tannins ending with earthy nutty notes. — 4 months ago

This is the La Casuccia CdA which wasn’t in the Delectable lineup - my third favorite of the CdA dinner - see the Montebuoni and Bellavista notes. Note that we also tasted the ‘07 La Casuccia but didn’t love it - actually seemed to have some funk to it — 7 months ago

Fruit sourced from three young, cool vineyards, Arborina and Gattera in La Morra and Castelletto in Monforte d'Alba, Ruby red with a bouquet of dark fruit, spices, leather and licorice. On the palate flavors of sour black cherry and plum with notes of pepper, smoky tobacco, vanilla and oak. Long finish, nice balance with fine drying tannins, savory edges, ending with earthy mineral notes. Good now! — 8 months ago

Very fresh and elegant, though the tannins are still quite firm. Truffles and roses, purple fruit, leather. An amazing value in well crafted Barolo. — 7 years ago

See previous Note. Old plummie, red cherry notes. Barb said dusty and pine needles. A cooler vintage. I said red cherries and freshly tilled loam. As Galloni said “In 2010 Ama did not bottle their single vineyard selections. All the best fruit went here.” Tasting more the quality of a Brunello than a Chianti Classico. No. 6 in Wine Spectators Top 100 for 2015. — 5 months ago

Aggressively tannic, even 3 days after opening. I’d wait about 10 more years on this one 😂 — 3 years ago

Very dense and black in colour. These wines always remind me of Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. The colour makes you think full bodied but it’s actually light to medium bodied. A luscious mouth filling palate with the savoury milk chocolate together with notes of raisin and date. Supple yet persistent tannins. Reminiscent of a Priorat Garnacha in some respects. — 8 months ago

Något utvecklas med nyanserad fatbetonad karaktär. Mörka bär, torkade blommor, läder, tjära med en fin mineralisk kärna och nedslipade finkorniga tanniner i avslutet. — 4 years ago
