The 2011 Barolo Ornato is similarly rich and powerful

The finer middle weight flavors aren’t as powerful though I like the vibrancy on the dusty

Although Gaja is easily the most glamorous winery in Piedmont

There is a hint of warmth but overall this is quite well-balanced and the length is remarkable

Francois Lamarche, Clos Vougeot Vintage:2010 The 2011 Barolo Ornato is(from 3 different parcels, one at the bottom and two at the top but on opposite sides). A fresh, cool and perfumed nose of mostly red currant and cherry is liberally laced with notes of earth, underbrush and oak nuances. There is a very forward, even lush palate impression to the bigger, richer and more powerful flavors that also possess fine mid palate concentration though not necessarily better persistence. This too will need a few years of cellar
