Woodsy aromas with candied cherry, and medicinal spice open the nose of this wine. Savory on the palate with loads of earth notes, the mouthfilling palate has a solid core of cherry. Tannins are still youthful with warm baking spices and earth notes on the finish. (JP)

The 2011 Roero Riserva Renesio has aged impeccably. It’s a wine I did not taste on release but that I am very happy to check in on today. Black cherry, new leather, espresso and rose petal flesh out nicely. There’s a bit more oak influence in the 2011 than there is in the wines these days, along with the warm style of the year. The 2011 is still a young wine that will age for at least another decade, maybe more. (AG)

This exhibits sweet berry, licorice and tobacco flavors. Intense and fresh, with dusty tannins on the finish. Shows fine length and a minerally aftertaste. (BS)

The 2011 Malvirà "Renesio" Roero Riserva Nebbiolo perfectly reflects the warmth of the vintage. It possesses a generous, opulent profile of sweet dried cherry, baking spice, and licorice, all wrapped in a plush, silky texture that makes it incredibly hedonistic today.

Notes

The warm and generous 2011 vintage produced wines with exceptional approachability, and this mature Renesio is drinking beautifully today. Aromas of red plum, dried rose, baking spice, and tea leaf lead into a supple palate that balances richness with the finesse expected from Nebbiolo. Estate-cellared and released with over a decade of age, it offers the kind of immediate complexity that typically takes years for collectors to achieve on their own. Previously reviewed at 92 points by Vinous and James Suckling, along with 90 points from Wine Spectator.
