  Mmm, classic Ravera on the fragrant nose with its signature mint and / or menthol note along balsamic strawberries, tar and meat broth. Beautiful freshness in this hot vintage, nothing overripe, very clean. The palate is full bodied with a soft texture, tannins showing more on the mid palate towards the finish but are fully coated with fruit. High acidity as usual and also some spicy note on the finish. A very complete package. Will age for decades. As usual: first rate, traditional Barolo from Cogno. 18.5+/20.

  1 année depuis dernière bouteille. Ouvert et bu dans la foulée.
  Excellent dès le début, il a gagné en finesse ou… je me suis habitué à son punch.
  En dépit de cette pointe de chaleur, j’aime beaucoup ce vin qui a l’air régulier

  Decanted for 5 hours. In excellent shape thereafter with however no signs of age. Still brooding tannins but nicely balanced and highly delicious. Notes of cherry, lingonberry, dried herbs, blackberry, black pepper, rose petals, star anise, new leather, hints of coffee and fresh soil. Very youthful but also very much in bloom. Rather dense and traditionally made. Drink now with more vivid tannins in a primary flavour profile or hold for more tertiary development. Either way, this is excellent
