Finer and tighter still, the 2009 Barolo Le Coste is laced with graceful tones of dried mint, licorice, garden herb, rosehip and dried ginger. The smooth finish shows silky tannins and a cool, menthol finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2023. 94 points from Robert Parker, The Wine AdvocateBlueberry and raspberries on the nose with hints of oyster shell. Full body, with fine tannins and an intense and long finish. This is very solid and structured and not giving much. This will be much better in 2016 but already super quality.95 points from James Suckling
