2001 Barolo DOCG, Piedmont, Italy

Medium-intense nose, ripe red berries, some blueberries and plums, wilted roses and some mineral notes. Quite polished in the mouth, oaky notes, lots of ripe juicy fruit, fine tannins with good presence, more wilted roses on the palate, with very elegant aromas of strawberries and raspberries, some dried fruit, sweetish roasted notes in the background, good finish.

Best to drink: Bis 2010. What our ratings mean
