Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2003 “Villero” pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core, moving towards a slightly orange/watery rim. Medium+ viscosity and no staining of the tears with significant signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of black and red fruit: black plum, Morello cherry, red roses, green herbs, leather, old wood and dried gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, however there seems to be more dried herbs on the palate, including a fresh mint. The finish is long, lasting for minutes. A beautiful expression from a very solar vintage. Drink now and through 2040. — 25 days ago
Great notes! Interesting to see how lively is a Barolo from a very cool vineyard in a very hot vintage. You have to select well what to buy in different year. Thanks and happy holidays!! Btw Piedmont wine and Sardinian food sounds good!
@Ceccherini Cristiano thanks for the props. I’m convinced that Villero is such a special site that it makes great wine any vintage that isn’t washed out by rain.
