I enjoyed the 2015 Sordo (reviewed below) quite a lot. I thought let's see how this compares with the 2015 Elio Grasso Casa Maté.
Wow! What a wine this is. It is only just getting ready to drink at 10 years. This wine is very tannic, but finely grained. The red cherry fruit is mellowing. Mocca flavours and licorice make the palate quite complex. This wine is piercing through the palate. The finish is ultra long. This wine is not for everybody, but I love this.
Elio Grasso has been one of my favorite producers, even more so since I visited a couple of years ago, and saw the special vineyard area of this estate. The strong focus on two premium Barolos is clearly paying off.
Score: 96/+++
