Note di degustazione
The 2008 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda presents a classic palette of Rionda notes: rose petal, violets, savory herbs, mint and sweet spices. Dark, layered and beautifully perfumed throughout, the 2008 is compelling, even if it is naturally a bit compact at this stage. Here the tannin is a bit more firm than in the super-polished 2010. Needless to say, it will be interesting to follow the development of both wines over the coming decades.

Bright red. Pure, subdued aromas of medicinal red cherry, blueberry and menthol. Tightly wound, juicy and on the cool side; imploded and energetic but without quite the density of the 2010 Barolos that followed it in my tasting. Most impressive on the electric finish, which features a powerful spine of acidity and a piquant note of bitter orange peel. This should evolve very slowly in bottle and go on for two or three decades. My score may prove to be overly conservative.
Just mid ruby beginning to show some orange on the rim. Sweet, fragrant, almost heady nose but not alcoholic. There is density of fruit on the nose. Loads of chewy tannins and succulent fruit on the palate. (WS)
