Renato Ratti Barolo Conca 2013

Tasting Notes

Conca a small vineyard in La Morra. The top wines from Renato Ratti get a lot of new barrique, and arguably, I'd suggest that the wineries in La Morra are serial offenders when it comes to wood, from a commune that perhaps needs it least? Anyway, stepping down from my soapbox now, to the task at hand. A lot of spicy cinnamon, mint and clove wood, sage, liquorice, plush red fruits. It's medium bodied, almost silky and creamy, layered with spice through red fruits, gentle herbal and sage like inflection, lovely high pixel tannin, and a creamy red fruited finish of excellent length. 93 Points - Gary Walsh
