Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis, Luciano Sandrone 2013

The 2013 Barolo Le Vigne Sibi et Paucis, the Sandrone library release of the 2013, is an infant. That's the good news. Even better, it is developing at a snails' pace. Bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint, white flowers and white pepper lend brightness. Readers will have to be patient though, as the 2013 is nowhere near ready to drink. Those who are fortunate to own it should be thrilled. Magnificent. (Drink between 2026-2038)

Wow. This has really evolved beautifully with spices, perfumes, and flowers, as well as dark fruits. Hints of mushrooms. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that are soft and resolved now. Caresses your palate. Held at the winery for 10 years. Drink and enjoy or age.
