The dense ruby-colored 1997 Barolo exhibits a complex bouquet of rose petals, melted tar, cherry liqueur, and Parmesan cheese. Full-bodied, ripe, dense, and chewy, with adequate acidity, ripe, mature tannin, and a 30-40-second finish, this big, old style, robust Barolo will continue to develop for 10-15 years.
