Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (RP): 94 "The 2006 Barolo Ravera is darker, richer and more sensual than the Cascina Nuova. Layers of dark fruit intermingled with sweet balsamic nuances of cloves, pine and menthol flow effortlessly from the Ravera. The richness of the density matches the tannins step by step all the way through to a sensual, inviting finish that begs for another taste. This, too, is a superb effort. Ravera isn't usually considered one of the very finest sites for Nebbiolo in Barolo, but in Cogno's hands the fruit seems to reach an unprecedented level of finesse and elegance." |
