The 2007 Barolo Riserva Gorette is a gorgeous wine that is heavily lavished in oak and ripe Nebbiolo fruit. The oak influences are impossible to miss, but they make sense given the context of the warm vintage and the Riserva philosophy. Even if you don't love oak-driven Nebbiolo, I suggest you give this wine a try - especially as it continues its slow and melodic bottle evolution. There is enough dark fruit, licorice and grilled herb to underline the wine's Nebbiolo authenticity.
