[SOLD-OUT] Alessandria Gramolere Barolo 2010

eRobertParker.com 95 points!
"With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the 2010 Barolo Gramolere comes from a vineyard located between Bussia and Monforte at 400 meters above sea level. This high altitude site has sandy soils and a huge presence of wild mint that grows freely between the vineyard rows. As the wine evolves in the glass, you can just make out that minty signature. Of this estate's various wines, this the boldest and most structured of the newly released wines. The tannin is soft and almost crunchy, underlining the singular tannic identity of this wine. The wine will appeal to Barolo traditionalists who like a little extra bite in their Nebbiolo."

"The fruit for this Barolo is grown 400 metres above sea level, providing structure and a deep, brooding flavour profile expected from a cooler site. It is Fratelli Alessandria's most generous, masculine-styled Barolo. Interestingly, there is a prevalence of wild mint growing throughout the site so why don't you see if (like the critic above) you get that "minty signature" coming through?"
