Fresh and vibrant throughout, the Barolo impresses for its superb balance and poise. Deceptively medium in body, the wine sneaks up on the mid-palate, gaining more and more volume through to the finish. There is the subtlest hint of French oak that points to the slightly updated style the estate is going for with this bottling, but not enough to detract from the classic feel. This is a magnificent, impeccable Barolo from Pio Cesare, but it will be even better in a few years. The estate’s Barolo is made from a number of vineyards in Serralunga, Grinzane Cavour, La Morra, Novello and other villages. The wine is aged mostly in cask, although 30% sees French oak. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e94 points\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"-2\"\u003eStephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, November\/December 2009 \u003c\/font\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\"\u003e($61) Good deep red. Sweet but lower-toned aromas of mocha and nuts. Powerful, broad and rich, with a plush texture to the flavors of plum, coffee and mocha. There's something distinctly old school about this wine and yet there's a pliancy to the middle palate. Finishes with suave, building tannins that reach the front teeth.\u003cb\u003e \u003ci\u003e91-93 points\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vins Rare","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46037329936623,"sku":"2850","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/7140\/9135\/files\/piocesare_barolo2019-LBL_5c695a71-b177-42f7-a90f-afd010575d95.png?v=1772599802","url":"https:\/\/vinsrare.com\/products\/2006-pio-cesare-barolo","provider":"Vins Rare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
