Bright, combining cherry, earth, iron and green tea flavors with a solid tannic structure. Maintains energy and resonates through the long finish. Shows fine intensity midpalate. Best from 2023 through 2040.

On the nose, the 2015 Barolo Coste di Rose offers dry and almost dusty notes of crushed stone and camphor ash followed by tight berry and wild blueberry. There is a floral component to the wine as well, with blue flower, lavender and dried rose. This vintage plays forward the differences between the vineyard crus of Barolo with enormous precision and individual identity. This expression remains slightly more delicate and compact in terms of its inner fiber.

French oak, toasted hazelnut, fragrant purple flower and menthol aromas slowly appear in the glass. On the linear, rather austere palate, dried herbs and a hint of coffee bean accent cranberry and blood orange alongside taut, close-grained tannins.

The 2015 Barolo Coste di Rose offers only modest depth and complexity. It's hard to find any real pleasure in the dried out flavors and the wine's modest structure. There is just not much to the 2015.
