The 2005 Barolo Enrico VI presents a deeply spiced, layered expression of Nebbiolo in its menthol spices, minerals and dark fruit, all of which are framed by firm, sturdy tannins. There is lovely density and richness to be found in the glass, and the wine continues to develop quite positively with air. The Enrico VI is a bigger, more structured Barolo than the Gattera, but the flavors are also a touch more advanced, and it remains an open question as to which wine will reach full maturity first. This is another impeccable, beautifully balanced wine from Cordero di Montezemolo. The Enrico VI is made from the Villero vineyard in Castiglione Falletto. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022. This is a lovely set of wines from Cordero di Montezemolo, one of the most picturesque properties in all of Piedmont. The 2005 Barolos seem to be better balanced than in the past with a more enlightened use of French oak. Various American importers, including: Omniwines Distributing Co. LLC, Linden Hill, NY; tel.

Coffee, plum and berry aromas follow through to a full body, with big, velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. This is rich, almost decadent. Best after 2013. 750 cases made.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Dried roses lead the other textbook aromas and flavours; a balanced, friendly wine already enjoyable.

Enrico VI reveals an elegant persona that is very much in line with Barolo tradition. The wine exudes fruit, especially wild berries and white cherries, and offers delicate shadings of cola, tea and black licorice. There is a sharp, thorny edge to the mouthfeel that will soften with time. Drink after 2015.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 92
