"Good full red. Red cherry, rose petal, brown spices and sweet oak on the sexy nose. More backward and medicinal than the 2005 or 2006 bottlings-and more classic Barolo in its dense flavors of camphor, menthol, brown spices and dried flowers. Finishes with surprisingly lush, broad, fine-grained tannins." -Stephen Tanzer

"Costa Grimaldi tastes fruity and tart and offers mature notes of raspberry and strawberry over subtle shadings of spice, licorice and root beer. It's definitely a riper expression of Barolo and therefore not as layered or complex as other wines from this vintage. That said, it's a fine wine with super-firm tannins and bright cherry flavors.
