Barolo Le Vigne Sandrone 1996 is a Nebbiolo wine that reflects the complexity of vineyard sites across the Barolo region. This vintage integrates fruit from several esteemed communes, including Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d`Alba. Its aromas typically include notes of dried cherries, earth, leather and subtle spice. On the palate, expect a structured framework of fine tannins and noticeable acidity. The wine demonstrates a capacity for longevity, evolving over time to reveal deeper nuances of tar and mineral earthiness.
96 Vinous
The 1996 Barolo Le Vigne is exceptionally vivid, especially in the aromatics, which are really popping today. Bright red stone fruit, raspberry jam, exotic flowers, mint and French oak are all woven together in a Barolo of exquisite finesse and class. The 1996 is just beginning to show the first signs of tertiary aromatics. While it won't last forever, the 1996 is absolutely gorgeous today. Time in the glass brings out power and depth, but within the context of the vintage, the 1996 is a wine of refinement and brightness.
92 Robert Parker
The dark ruby/purple-colored 1996 Barolo Le Vigne is an elegant, large-scaled Barolo with everything in balance. There is sweet tannin, and a measured yet powerful, rich style with copious amounts of black fruits intermixed with minerals, spice, and dried herbs. The wine is tight, and in need of 3-4 years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity. 2004-2018. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
