The 2001 Barolo Garblet Sue’ is an infant. How much longer will the Garblet need? Perhaps as long as another decade. Layers of dark red fruit build effortlessly to the huge finish as this deep, compelling Barolo conquers the palate and intellect. Huge, massive tannins provide the backdrop for the fireworks in this utterly beguiling Barolo. The finish reveals an exotic, wild side of Nebbiolo that is compelling. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2031.
Brovia’s 2001 Baroli are stunning. Such beauty. Such grace. It’s all there in these splendid, handcrafted wines. Vinification and aging are very much done along traditional lines, although Brovia prefers French rather than Slovenian oak for their casks. Readers who own these wines are going to be very, very happy.
