The 1999 Barolo Ginestra, with a classic and expansive nose of roses, licorice, and tar, warm and alcoholic, is quite solid and structured on the palate, mineral, dense, and tarry, and with an ample, solid flow from the mid-palate to the finish. The level of this wine obviously promises well for the 1999 Riserva. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2018.
