The 1999 Barolo Brunate is somewhat rustic on the nose with much saddle leather and game in the aromatic gamut, ample but a bit rough in its tannins and tough in its texture. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900

Fantastic aromas of bright berry, fresh mushroom and minerals. Full-bodied, with excellent concentration of fruit and silky, ripe tannins. Long and delicious. Almost as great as the 1997. Best after 2007. 2,000 cases made, 550 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
