Mauro Sebaste Barolo Riserva DOCG Ghé 2016

Beskrivelse

Barolo Riserva DOCG Ghé 2016 er Mauro Sebaste’s bud på en top-Barolo af højeste kvalitet. Druerne kommer fra en af de absolut bedste crus, Cerretta, fra Serralunga d’Alba. Mauro’s plot ligger 350 m.o.h.

Mauro fremstiller denne i kun de bedste årgange, og hele produktionen fra arbejdet i marken til det endelig produkt i flasken, er underlagt de strengeste krav.

Vinen har været igennem en maceration på 12-16 dage i temperaturregulerede ståltanke med daglig pumping over. Herefter har den lagret 30 måneder i franske 400 liter store egetræsfade. For at kunne kalde vinen ‘Riserva’, har den ligget yderligere 30 måneder på flaske inden frigivelse.

Barolo Riserva DOCG Ghé 2016 er en vin med høj intensitet. Aromaerne man møder er krydderier, læder, tobak i flot samspil med roser og violer. Alt i alt en flot og kraftfuld vin i perfekt balance.

Du kan godt drikke Barolo Riserva DOCG Ghé 2016 nu, men for at få den fulde oplevelse, bør du nok lade den ligge nogle år endnu på langs.

James Suckling: 94 points
“I like the integration of ripe red-berry and plummy fruit with the spicy, lightly polished oak here. Full-bodied with the same classy and elegant balance of fruit, spice and oak on the palate. Well-integrated tannins allow the wine to flow. No jagged edges here. Enjoy now or cellar. This is well poised for at least a decade.”

“Medium intense garnet; aromas of ripe black cherry, licorice and notes of forest floor. Medium-full with very good to excellent concentration. Evident oak notes, medium-full tannins, good acidity and notable persistence.
This is very young and needs several more years to round out; peak in 12-15 years.”

“Poised for greatness with proper cellaring, the Barolo Riserva DOCG Ghé 2016 comes from a small monopole plot of old vines in the Cerretta vineyard that produces just 800-1,000 bottles of this wine in only the finest vintages.

This wine is 100% Michet clone which is green harvested to yield a mere 3 clusters per plant. It projects the grandeur, finesse and magnificence of the profound 2016 vintage as waves of mentholated ripe morello cherry, balsam, pomegranate and bight plum lead the charge.

With time in the glass, it reveals layers of roses, spices and crushed wet rocks. The palate delivers captivating elegance with perfectly balanced fruit, acid and succulent ripe tannins. This is an utterly spellbinding wine that will age slowly and gracefully.

Give it the cellar time it deserves to bring out its potential. It can be enjoyed young but be cautious not to over-oxygenate it. Drink 2028-2046+”
