the 2014 is surprisingly open for a young Roagna Barbaresco

crushed flowers and deeply spiced notes are woven into an intricate fabric of indescribable class

lacking some spark

bilberry and blackberry all apparent

all wrapped in a youthfully austere and gorgeously long finale

Lanson, Clos Lanson Vintage:2009 the 2014 is surprisingly openThe 2009 Brut Blanc de Blancs Clos Lanson is showing beautifully, mingling aromas of pear, green apple and citrus oil with hints of fresh pastry, sourdough and nutmeg. Full bodied, layered and multidimensional, it's deep and incisive, with lovely tension and chalky back end grip, concluding with a long and penetrating finish. 2009 marks the third vintage of biodynamic farming for this small, one hectare vineyard.
