A darker profile of black cherries, earthiness, smoke, tar and licorice flavors emerge from the 2004 Barolo Vigna Giachini. Made in a darker, more full-bodied style than the Gattera, it offers terrific expansiveness on the palate although some bottle age will be beneficial in smoothing the building tannins that arrive on the finish. The Giachini sees 50% of new oak, which also helps give the wine its roundness. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2022.
