The 1997 Barolo Costa Grimaldi exhibits a saturated dense ruby/purple color as well as aromas of sweet black cherries and plums, licorice, smoke, and minerals. Full-bodied, with impressive fruit, richness, extract, mouth-filling levels of ripe, chewy tannin, and a huge, sweet, concentrated, explosive finish, this 1997 is just beginning to develop secondary nuances. It should age effortlessly for two decades. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
