Barolo Le Coste di Monforte, Azienda Agricola Giacomo Grimaldi 2010

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 between 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.
