The 2005 Barolo Le Brunate is very similar to the Cannubbio in that it is essentially fruit-forward in its expression of fruit. Here the aromas and flavors are a touch darker as one might expect from the Brunate vineyard. Sweet menthol, spices, licorice and minerals linger on a long, refined finish. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035. I continue to be very impressed with the wines that are emerging from this historic winery. The Barolos in particular show far more harmony and elegance than was once the case. Importers: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404; Vinity Wine Company, Emeryville, CA; tel.
