Barolos Satisfy
It’s amazing to see the 2012 vintage follow so many excellent years for Barolo. Most of the wines show ripe fruit and a balance of fine tannins that give them form and lustre. They’re not the hard-core tannic and acidic wines that some may prefer, but win
Poderi aldo Conterno barolo Romirasco Very earthy and intense, with ripe fruit and hints of bark and mushroom. A full body, powerful and chewy. Great tannin structure. Better in 2020. 97 points
Ceretto barolo bricco Rocche
The aromas of rose petal, strawberry and dark fruit are breathtaking. Full-bodied, very fine and tight with a fabulous depth of fruit, yet it remains agile and lively. Polished form. Composed and beautiful. Reminds me of the great 2008. Drink in 2022. 98 points
