Flavio Roddolo Bricco Appiani Langhe Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

I've long referred this wine as 'Italy's Greatest Cabernet' and, truth be told, it's always arguably been my favorite Cabernet on Earth.  It's so aromatic, so classic, so focused, so chiseled and so mineral, and then with the same extended elevage that Roddolo's other wines get (and often way longer) you get a wine that, for sub-$100 drinks at full maturity right out of the gate.  We drank a bottle of the 2010 the other day and, wow is it good right now.  It's a sublimely classic, dark, muscular Cabernet that has a fabulous tarry, savory/balsamic nuance to it that is both singular and mesmerizing.  It's the Barolo of Cabernet.  I'm serious.   Vintage: 2010 Country: Italy Region: Piedmont Appellation: Langhe Rosso DOC Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon Farming: Organic Drink: Now-2030
