Elvio Cogno – Barolo Bricco Pernice 2014

Systembolaget 960 kr. 96p, Antonio Galloni. Årgång 2014 är ej poängsatt av Parker än, men jag har provat den och det är en imponerande elegant version som är mycket bra. Förra årgången fick 96p av Parker och detta är samma nivå:

The Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice is a true protagonist of this gorgeous vineyard site. A bright green canopy extends right up to the Elvio Cogno farmhouse on a gentle slope that rises upward all the way to the Novello ridge. Ravera sits in a beautiful amphitheater of vines. From a classic vintage, this wine is solid and firm in texture. The bouquet is already expressive, immediate and direct. It is bursting with dark fruit, smoke, spice and licorice. This Barolo shows all the qualities that will guarantee a long and successful cellar evolution. Only 4,000 bottles were made. The wine sees a 40-day fermentation and maceration time with submerged caps. It is aged in large Slavonian oak casks for 30 months.
