The 2001 Barolo opens with aromas of roses, licorice and underbrush. Medium in body, it shows very pretty flavors of bright red cherry fruit and minerals with good persistence and a balsamic note on the finish. It is terrific normale that conveys the terroir of Serralunga. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799

Aromas of plums and hints of meat with berries. Full-bodied, with soft, round tannins and a long, long finish. Slightly one-dimensional, but clearly outstanding. Always a great value. Well made. Best after 2007. 1,500 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
