2014 Barolo Aleste Luciano Sandrone

6er Paket frei Haus! 

Parker-Larner 93 Punkte: This is the second year Aleste is produced instead of Cannubi Boschis, however the grapes are exactly the same. The 2014 Barolo Aleste is named after Luciano Sandrone's grandchildren Alessia and Stefano. The 2014 is still wound up and will require extra time to find its footing. The Sandrone family lost 25% of their fruit production in this challenging harvest. The wine offers fragrant notes of wild cherry and cassis with smoke, crushed stone and candied orange peel. The tannins are firm and textured. It is the palate (more than the nose) that requires more time to soften.

James Suckling 93 Punkte: A firm and silky red with plum and berry character. Hints of spices and dark chocolate, too. Medium to full body. Powerful and structured. Needs three or four years to soften. Drink in 2021.

Gallonni 93 Punkte: The 2014 Barolo Aleste is a wine of exquisite finesse and grace. Soft, understated and classy, it is a terrific example of the vintage at its best. Bright red cherry and red plum fruit give the wine its vibrant feel. In 2014, the Aleste is decidedly medium-bodied and restrained, especially compared to recent past vintages. Readers should keep in mind that Aleste is the new name for the Cannubi Boschis Barolo.

Tiefes, funkelndes Rubinrot im Glas. Sein intensives Bouquet versprüht den Duft von reifen, dunklen Kirschen, Rosen, Veilchen untermalt von zarten Noten mediterraner Kräuter, Vanille und Nelke. Kraftvoll im Geschmack mit Eindrücken von Waldbeeren, Gewürzen, dunkler Schokolade und einem Hauch Menthol. Gut strukturiert und mit präsenten Tanninen. Schöner langer Abgang.
