This delivers way better fruit complexity than the monolith Napa Cabernet cliché

Barolo Tre Tine shows silky but firm tannins and balanced acidity

with an elegantly textural attack and a creamy core of fruit that's underpinned by a bright but nicely integrated spine of acidity

This mature wine remains dark black-red in colour

the palate is beautifully nuanced and poised

Tardieu-Laurent, Cote Rotie other_regions_australia This delivers way better fruitMedium pale garnet. Smoky oak, slightly reduced and a little bit spirity suggesting insufficient fruit concentration for the weight of oak influence. Perfumed mid palate and a little drying on the finish. Unnecessarily heavy bottle. (JH)
