The 2004 Barolo Riserva is an amazing wine with a full load of mint, cassis, licorice, tar, cedar and cola. You need to go back to the glass time and time again to fully comprehend the enormity of the bouquet. Once you absorb that first wave of aromas, a second wave of leather, spice and tobacco follows in quick succession. Dark concentration and density give this Barolo an upper hand when it comes to longevity. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035.
Centrally located in Barolo village, Marchesi di Barolo is a reliable producer of consistent, traditional red wines.
