This old style Barolo will be adored by consumers who love the style of Giacomo Conterno and Bartolo Mascarello. It possesses the huge, truffle, earthy, smoked nut, black fruit-scented nose that one either adores or finds slightly dirty. A huge, full-bodied wine, it has mouthfilling, glycerin-dominated, rich, chewy, sweet flavors, surprisingly suppleness, and a massive finish with gobs of fruit and equally impressive tannin levels. It is likely to be a controversial Barolo, but I thought it to be spectacular. Drink it over the next 15-20 years. Importer: Vinifera Imports, Ronkonkoma, NY.
