The Asili vineyard was purchased in 1961

The 2010 Barolo Arborina shows a strong fruit profile with cherry and cassis that sets it apart from the 2009 vintage that is extremely generous in floral tones of crushed flower and rose

bold and robust flavors that are blessed with an abundance of dry extract that does a fine job of buffering the very firm tannic spine shaping the strikingly complex and persistent finale

blue berry and a bit of oak gives way to beautifully textured middle weight flavors that also terminate in a finish that displays a mild dryness though here it’s less pronounced

ripe and agreeably fresh nose of red currant liqueur that sees added breadth in the form of underbrush and game hints

Michel Gaunoux, Pommard Grands Epenots other_regions The Asili vineyard was purchased(from a large 1. 74 ha parcel). A perfumed, complex and mostly still primary nose offers up earthy red berry fruit, underbrush and a touch of animale that can also be found on the generous and quite fleshy flavors that possess excellent volume as well as buckets of dry extract that almost render the firm and ripe tannins invisible on the massively long finish. Wow, this is a stunner of a wine with still plenty of upside potential remaining. 95 2019+
