Tasting notes
The 2013 Barolo Barolo Rupestris is insanely beautiful. Here the flavors are dark and intense. Black cherry, plum, lavender and menthol add to the wine's sense of gravitas. The 2013 is endowed with serious power and intensity, and yet it has an element of inner sweetness that adds sensuality. In many ways, it reminds me of the 1989, which remains a tremendous Barolo. Powerful, explosive and tannic, the 2013 has much to offer. (11.2017) - vinous.com
The 2013 is a distinctly cool, savory Barolo Rupestris with dark tonalities of fruit and striking textural depth, but also a bit more reserve than is usually the case. Precision, nuance and detail are among the many signatures in this gorgeous, compelling Barolo. A closing burst of perfume adds intrigue, but the 2013 is a wine of reserve that needs time to be at its very best. (11.2016) - vinous.com
