The 2000 Barolo Prapo, quite dense in texture and with intense aromas of tar and licorice, is backward, still slightly hard in its tannins, and in need of time, though I doubt that it will reach the level of the 1999 from the same vineyard. Drink: 2006-2016. Various American importers, including Petit Pois, Merion, PA; tel. (856) 608-9644

Rather earthy with blackberry and plum character. Full bodied and chewy. One-dimensional. Wait and see. Best after 2008. 280 cases made, 120 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
