Blackberry, dark chocolate and hints of flowers follow through to a full body, with chewy tannins and a medium, caressing finish. A touch austere on the finish. Needs time to round out in texture. Best after 2011. 500 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Boroli presents yet another ace with its Villero. There’s more to chew on here compared to your standard Barolo and the wine boasts roundness and power. It’s a modern, luscious interpretation with creamy vanilla and soft spice lavished over aromas of wild berry and plum. It has the tannins to cut through bechamel sauce.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 93
