David Cobb and now his son Ross have been farming the same vines planted at the vineyard’s inception
great middle and finish
with sappy dark fruit and espresso flavors
but then you get this lick of spice
I enjoy this precisely because I can pair it with several meal types: from chicken soup to linguine alle vongole…it works with food
Mauro Veglio, Barolo, Vigneto Gattera 1999 TAR-ROSES David Cobb and now hisInto neck 91 CellarTracker Mature, ruby red color. Earthy nose, complex, plum, figs, some glue "velpon". Sweet taste, dark fruit and plums, velvety, still quite some tannins. Tannins are mainly smooth, at the end a bit coarse, however these have mellowed out already wonderfully the last years. Finish is long and beautiful. Needs 1 2 years to smoothen further. 8 1 2011
