Rose, raspberry, pomegranate and blood orange aromas and flavors are the hallmarks of this well-structured red, with a layer of iron, eucalyptus and tobacco adding savory details. This is taut and vibrant, with beautifully integrated tannins and a long, complex aftertaste. Shows tension between its power and finesse. (BS)

The 2021 Barolo Tre Tine is a pale red color and is a zesty and more lifted vintage with classic aromas of sweet red berries, raspberries, orange zest, dried earth, and fresh flowers. The palate is vibrant and tension-packed, with fantastic balance, nervous and electric energy, salty freshness, well-defined, coiled tannins, and a long finish. While it’s the most approachable of the range, this is a vintage that needs time, but it’s packed with vibrant energy and will be a vintage for the long haul. While the 2019 has more fruit, this shines more for its minerality. Most of the blend is from Ravera, with 20% each from San Lorenzo and Le Coste. Drink 2028-2058. (AF)
