Smooth, offering dark cherry, plum and earth notes allied to grainy tannins. There is vibrant underlying acidity that carries the finish. Drink now through 2023.

Review
The 2017 Barolo is a broad and thickly concentrated expression that definitely wears the marks of a hot growing season. The fruit is weighed by thick concentration, dark cherry and plum, all followed by plenty of earthy tones or crushed aspirin. You even get a hint of black truffle that is perfumed and sensual. The tannins on this wine are almost accessible now, and this wine can be enjoyed in the near term as well. I found this blended Barolo to be the most balanced of these three new releases from Silvio Grasso. Some 20,000 bottles were made.

A fragrant red, offering cherry, nutmeg and white pepper aromas, this is austere, its shy fruit hiding behind the vibrant structure. It's slim and not too densely tannic, so should develop over the short-term. Best from 2022 through 2037. 900 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Give this lots of air to get the loamy, black-fruit aromas with hints of lightly toasted vanilla oak. On the palate it’s full-bodied with very fine, firm tannins and a highly concentrated bead of lovely crushed black fruit and oak that lasts a long time. This will gain even more complexity as it opens up with time. Super Barolo, but be patient. Decant to drink now, but best after 2023.

The sweet, vanilla oak aroma fits beautifully with the camphor not in this spice red. Leather and iron notes add detail. It's smooth, with a solid base of tannins and stays harmonious overall. Give this a year or two to integrate more fully. Best from 2023 through 2042.

The 2016 Barolo Annunziata Vigna Plicotti is another powerful, dense wine in this range. Raspberry jam, chocolate, new leather, licorice and spice are generous in this fruity, voluptuous Barolo. A wine of terrific depth and density in a lush, forward style, the 2016 is not exactly complex, but it delivers plenty of impact in a heady, exotic style that will be most enjoyed by readers who like potent wines.

Alluring for its harmony and complex flavors of smoky cherry, raspberry, flowers, anise and iron. This red's texture starts out silky, picking up structure by the way of firm, chalky tannins by the finish. Long, with ripe fruit as a lasting impression.

The 2015 Barolo Bricco Luciani is one of the more overt wines in this lineup. As is so often the case, the Luciani is also one of the more complete Barolos here. Succulent dark cherry, plum spice, new leather and menthol infuse this resonant, expressive La Morra Barolo. The Luciani is distinguished by its mid palate generosity and creamy, enveloping personality. Time in bottle will allow all of the wine’s pedigree to emerge nicely. There is plenty to look forward to.

Review
A limited release of 2,000 bottles, the 2017 Barolo Bricco Manzoni draws its fruit from La Morra. Keeping in line with the characteristics of this village, you are indeed treated to softly floral notes of crushed violets and lavender followed by dried fruit, tar and spice. This wine shows a little bit of evolution, while dark fruit ripeness or hot-vintage oxidation gives it a heavier character and a more accessible personality. There is a touch of sweet cherry skin on the close.

The 2016 Barolo Bricco Manzoni is a pretty, nuanced wine. Blood orange, mint, pine, rosewater and macerated red cherry are all finely sketched. The 2016 offers good nuance in a more refined style with less overt oak influence than in the past, and with much more detail, yet it retains the energy that is such a signature of this site.

The 2017 Barolo Bricco Manzoni handled the rigors of the year relatively well. Dark and ample in the glass, the 2017 has the frame to deal with the intensity of the vintage. Black cherry, lavender, sage, cloves and tobacco infuse the 2017 with quite a bit of character. I would cellar the 2017 for a year or two, maybe more, and see what happens.

The 2015 Barolo Turnè is done with extended maceration and aged in cask, which gives the wines exotic, perfumed aromatics and tons of personality. Sweet red cherry, raspberry, mint, blood orange and star anise all lift from the glass. Translucent and super- expressive, the Turnè is another stellar wine in this range. Stylistically, the Turnè is a bit ethereal, but it is also impeccable, not to mention very beautiful.
