    The warm-but-not hot vintage of 2018 gave us a Le Vigne Barolo of great delicacy and excellent structure. The nose is forceful but not explosive ” it is balanced and open, expanding upwards in the glass with spicy notes framing black and red fruits.
    On the palate, the wine is open and engaging, recalling vintages of similar climatic character such as 2012 and 2015. The tannins are ripe, open and silky, the mouthfeel is filling without being heavy, the acidity is fresh and the finish is long with a distinct mineral note.

    1. Maxwell Brantley –

      Dégustation chez Luciano Sandrone: Couleur soutenue, nez fumé, sous-bois, bouche encore fermée, fruité, tannins présents, l’équilibre est là mais le vin reste un peu sur la retenue, un beau Barolo qui devrait s’exprimer pleinement ces prochaines années.

    2. Brian Postma –

      Fida Sandrone lunch/ Barb Sandrone (Ci Siamo): The very new release. Opened maybe an hour and a half before we were drinking it. It’s still very young. More muscular in style. Tar and rose petals and an overall grippiness to it. Well structured and very interesting. Made from four different vineyards across four different villages of Barolo and depending on the year may find more of each component. Goal for the wine is to create the best blend for that particular year.

    3. Jean Taylor –

      Day 1 Rather closed down, with time some rose pedalsDay 2 Not really gathering strength and rather light on its feet. Still an excellent wine, but not really a great value in 2018.I would guess it should be enjoyed over the next 15 years.

    4. Karen Measheaw –

      Luciano Sandrone visit & tasting (winery): Pale RubyMed+ aromas and flavors intensity of high quality red fruits, tannic, acidic, med abv, med body, complex, long finish.a very elegant fine Barolo.

    5. Jessica Reyes –

      La Festa del Barolo (Los Angeles) Grand Tasting (Marino Restaurant, Los Angeles): Relatively big, dominated by astringent wood.

    6. John Nabb –

      Wonderful, lifted, complex nose. Very fine and expressive. Drinking well young but I expect will age beautifully.

    7. WS –

      A taut red, with alluring aromas and flavors of rose petal, strawberry, cherry, tea and graphite fused to an elegant frame. Reveals its structure on the long finish, where there’s plenty of fruit in the end. Delivers terrific balance and harmony.

    8. WE –

      Camphor, violet, red berry and oak-driven spice are front and center on this fragrant red. Elegantly structured and vibrant, the focused palate delivers juicy red cherry, crushed strawberry, star anise and a hint of mocha alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2026–2033.

    9. WA –

      One of my personal favorites, the 2018 Barolo Le Vigne is savory in character and packed with dark fruit. Ripe cherry and redcurrant cedes to spice, licorice and fragrant rose. The oak is integrated, but there are added accents of spice and dark tar. Le Vigne is a blend of fruit from Baudana in Serralunga d’Alba, Villero in Castiglione Falletto, Vignane in Barolo and Merli in Novello.

    10. JS –

      The delicate mix of creamy red berries and savory, truffley notes keeps your nose glued to the glass. And that subtlety is carried over into the medium-to full-bodied palate, where there’s a youthful balance of silky fruit and lightly firm tannins that drives gently through the long finish. Subtle is the word, but excellent is the verdict. So tempting to drink now, but give it a couple of years. Try from 2024.

    11. VIN –

      The 2018 Barolo Le Vigne is a mid-weight, tightly wound wine, with a classic sense of austerity that will need at least a few years in bottle to start softening. Red cherry fruit, white flowers, mint and chalk lend brightness and tension throughout. In 2018, the blend of vineyards is Baudana, Villero, Vignane and Merli.
