The 2000 Barolo, a medium garnet in color, is fragrant and spicy on the nose, much in character with the vintage, soft in texture, savory and sweet in flavor. It will not be a particularly long-lasting example of this wine and should be drunk by 2012. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900

Wonderful plum, berry, and cherry aromas with hints of leather and cedar. Complex. Medium- to full-bodied, with supersilky tannins and a long finish of meat, berry and plum character. Best after 2007. 660 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
