Luciano Sandrone - Barolo Le Vigne 2017 (750ml)
James Suckling: 97 Points
Opulent and very sexy with perfume cedar dried flowers and dried strawberries and just a hint of nutmeg. It?s medium-to full-bodied with round and finely velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. So seductive. Drink after 2025.
Wine Enthusiast: 97 Points
Fragrant and delicious this gorgeous wine opens with inviting aromas of rose sandalwood camphor and perfumed berry alongside whiffs of truffle and French oak. The full-bodied palate combines elegance and structure featuring ripe Morello cherry crushed raspberry licorice and a dollop of vanilla alongside firm refined tannins. It's already tempting but hold for more complexity. Drink 2024?2032.
Vinous: 95+ Points
The 2017 Barolo Le Vigne is rich pliant and so expressive. Even so I imagine it will need a few years to open up fully. Bright red fruit rose petal blood orange and spice give the 2017 its distinctly red-toned profile. Elegant and translucent the 2017 is very nicely balanced. Vineyard sources are Baudana Villero Vignane and Merli. (Drink between 2025-2037)
