Cagliero – Ravera 2009, Riserva – Barolo

The nose is aromatic, powerful and offers a fine grain. It reveals notes of blackberry, very ripe wild cassis and small notes of dried blueberry associated with a touch of cornflower, tea, cardamom and very discreet hints of sense of the place. The palate is fruity, suave, beautifully gourmande and offers an aerial / linear side, a fine acidulous frame, tension, precision, juiciness as well as a good and very slightly tight structure. On the palate this wine expresses notes of very ripe cassis, very ripe blueberry and small notes of wild strawberry associated with a touch of cherry, cornflower as well as slight hints of chocolate, caramelization, toasted almond and an imperceptible hint of coffee (in the background). Tannins are fine and very discreetly dry. Good length.
