The 2003 Barolo Garblet Sue, from the Fiasco vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, is massively powerful, tannic wine that will require considerable patience. This brooding Barolo is packed with ripe red cherries, tobacco, new leather and spices that come to life in a rich, weighty expression of Nebbiolo. With several hours of air the wine softened considerably. Still, it is best left untouched in the cellar for at least a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020. Brovia remains one of the region’s most overlooked wineries. Readers who enjoy traditionally made Barolos should make a point of checking out this estate, whose wines remain very well-priced considering the quality. During my most recent visit I had the opportunity to taste a broad selection of Barolos from vintages 1996 through 2000 and the wines were simply gorgeous. These 2003s are also successful, although they will require patience and/or significant aeration. Importer: Rosenthal Wine Merchants, Pine Plains, NY; tel. (800) 910-1990
