The 2012 Ravera Barolo from Elvio Cogno is absolutely sensational. As this traditional style Barolo begins to open it releases gorgeous aromas of dried red berries woven together with dried florals and tar with hints of dried leather and lovely mineral notes all coming together beautifully in the glass. This continues to impress with its remarkable balance and focus as it heads in the the ultra-long finish. Overall, the Ravera is among the more impressive wines from this vintage and should continue to evolve for years to come. (Best 2017-2030) - September, 2016 (JD)
