Monday, January 15, 2024 - 2010 Barolo Tasting; 1/14/2024-1/15/2024: The '10 Bartolo was again an incredible wine, vibrant and really finessed. Tasting it as part of a group of 8 2010s did put it in context, as I think it was a small step below my favorite wines from the tasting (the Monfortino & Cappellano Rupestris), but I'm very excited to follow this over time.

The nose was vibrant, with pure red cherry fruit, mint, fresh roses, orange peel, and a bit of a savory, raw meat or leathery note, distinctly in the background. On the palate, the Bartolo was medium in body, solidly in the middle of the lineup of '10s in terms of concentration. Where this wine shined was the incredible finesse of the tannins, which are barely noticeable. Acidity was medium to high, with the wine coming across as very fresh / vibrant.
