Barolo Le Vigne 2004

Luciano Sandrone (hentet 7. okt. 2026): (August 2012) Luciano describes 2004 as one of his favorites of the last decade, and the wines from this year show the beautifully classic and long-lived structure that is characteristic of the vintage. The growing season was long and easy, the wines show great depth and complexity and the potential longevity is tremendous. The 2004 Le Vigne subtly reaches out of the glass and seduces you with aromas of black cherries and subtle stonefruits, with notes of tar, cola and violets. The aromas are beginning to show secondary aromas of leather, mushroom and dried rose petals, but the focus is still on primary flavors and aromas - this wine has years of life ahead of it. The palate is a study of balances between the firm acidity and tannins and the subtle and sweet fruit. The oak never jumps out front and adds polish to the gorgeously structured and long mid palate. The finish still has unevolved but ripe tannins and will reward additional patience. Ratings for the vintage 2004 96 points Stephen Tanzer 94 points 96 points 94 points
