2015 Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis

99 POINTS

Falstaff

Bright, rich ruby colour. Intense and appealing nose of cranberry confit and pickled peach, lots of raspberry. Plays out magnificently on the palate, lots of vivid ripe fruit, especially raspberry, plus dense tannins that carry the wine far, still has certain ageing potential for many years.Reviewers: Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler

The Luciano Sandrone 2015 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis delivers a good sense of freshness and brightness. It offers a very good read of the vintage with an open-knit and broad texture. The tannins still might need an extra year or two to integrate. The wine ages for a standard 18 months in tonneaux, followed by eight additional years in the bottle in a special room built at the back of the winery. Only 1,500 bottles are being released now. I came back to taste this wine 24 hours later and continued to be impressed by its freshness.

The 2015 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis is just beginning to open in its aromatics. Mid-weight, gracious and elegant, the 2015 is a classic Le Vigne. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint and high-toned spice notes are nicely laced together. This has aged beautifully. In fact, I might be tempted to cellar it for a few more years!
