Luciano Sandrone, Barolo DOCG Le Vigne 2003 (3L)

"Sweet tobacco, dried flowers, dried herbs, licorice, mint and dried cherries meld together in the 2003 Barolo Le Vigne. The tannins have pretty much melted away, giving way to a Barolo that impresses for its superb balance. As is often the case, the Le Vigne is a little bit brighter, floral and more red-toned than the Cannubi Boschis." – Antonio Galloni
