A solid wine, but slightly underwhelming for Giacosa. Maybe it’s 03, or that it needs more time.

A touch of medicinal herbs, cherries and some smokey elements come together in this tasty, drink-me-now Barolo. A touch faded, brick color, and a dried fruit quality points towards a shortish life ahead. No matter. This is one for now!

A wonderful Barolo from Bruno Giacosa. Light to medium crimson with a tawny rim. Savoury with balsamic notes. The high tannin high acid of young Barolo has softened at 7 years and this Wine has integrated beautifully. Nothing wrong with the Wines of Sicily and Puglia but this is a nice return to the King of Italian Wine. Excellent match with Carbonara and cured Pork cheek at Roscioli in Rome.

Strawberry, leather, rose petals, tannins are still fairly big. Wonderful perfume on the nose.

Tart, extremely floral. Wasn’t showing any youthful fruit. Maybe lay off this one for a decade.
