Tasting Notes

93
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Nov 02
Deep, bright red. Ripe, roasted aromas of red berry liqueur, smoke and tar. Wonderfully scented and complex in the mouth, with sweet, insinuating flavors of licorice, berries and tar. Shows the vibrancy of the best examples from this vintage. Finishes with powerful tannins and impressive grip. Built for extended aging.

Barolo

Barolo, the "King of Wines," is a prestigious red from Piedmont, Italy, made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes. Known for deep complexity, Barolo offers rich flavours of dark cherries, roses, truffles, and spices, with high acidity and firm tannins. It ages exceptionally well, evolving in depth and nuance. Barolo's diverse terroirs create a range of styles, from powerful to delicate. Top producers include Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Giuseppe Rinaldi, and Marchesi di Barolo, all of whom exemplify Barolo's tradition and quality.
