drink-now2012 Barolo, Le Vigne, Sibi et Paucis, Luciano Sandrone, Piedmont

The 2012 Barolo Le Vigne, here in a library release, is still a very young wine. Bright acids lift a core of red fruit in a Barolo that impresses with its vibrancy. Spice, blood orange, mint, rose petal and lavender open with a bit of time in the glass. 

The 2012 showed quite a bit of potential as a young wine, now, that potential is really starting to come through. This is a terrific showing.
