The 2003 Barolo Riserva Per Elen is a soft, open Barolo made in an accessible fruit-driven style with pretty red cherries, leather, licorice and spices. The wine offers excellent balance and well-integrated tannins as sweet notes linger on the finish. This medium-bodied Barolo is an excellent choice for near-term drinking but doesn’t appear to be built for extended cellaring.
