Cordero

"Medium red with an amber edge. Very ripe, complex nose melds strawberry, cherry, earth and underbrush; one senses the soil here. Penetrating but harmonious acidity gives this perfumed, ripe wine an enticing light touch. The most tannic of these three 2006s but the tannins are sweet and horizontal. Complex and suave Barolo"92/100 Tanzer

Nebbiolo ( Barolo is made from the nebbilo grape ) is a fickle grape famed as much for its pale appearance as for its tannic character and produces some of the most perfumed and richly flavored wines in the world. Cordero is renowned for its fantastic value barolo - "Medium red with a hint of amber at the rim. The nose and palate hit all the Barolo food groups: strawberry, tobacco, cedar, camphor, mocha, marzipan, nuts and flowers, complicated by a light balsamic quality. Plush in the middle yet delicate for 2006 in spite of its considerable body. A very firmly built wine that finishes with big, sweet, broad tannins and lingering complexity" 90/100 Tanzer.
