A strikingly good effort for the vintage that is worth a look

The pretty 2011 Barolo Tre Tine shows elegance

the tannins are still chiselled and serrated

and structured style that’s going to reward bottle age

Philippe Colin, Chassagne Montrachet Vergers other_regions_italy (from one-third Beugnons and two-thirds(from 3 parcels in Les Vergers proper). Moderate reduction overshadows the fruit though notes of petrol and wood poke through.

This should both drink well young and reward 5 to 8 years of cellaring.
