Magnificent and still vivid, this has just entered its prime time drinking window. Imposing structure; this will stay impressive for many years to come.

Leather, earth, truffle and perfumed purple flowers on the nose. Dry red fruits; cranberries, cherries, rhubarb, some bell pepper and leather. Tannins still holding strong. Tasted out of a magnum at Gaja.

Аромат мощный, даже несколько джемовый, джем черники, голубики, много замши, концентрированный, плотный. Сигарный ящик, смородиновое варенье, вкус чуть сладковатый, очень полный, чуть джемовый, сушеные черные ягоды, черемуха, черная смородина, чуть алкогольно, тонкие нюансы горькой апельсиновой цедры. Танины все еще чуть суховатые, послевкусие очень долгое. Держать. 17/20 (93/100)

Pour a glass and enjoy the evolution of the flavours every minute or so. Earth, leather, red dry fruits, spices, Tobacco, dark chocolate... The palette gets richer and richer. Intense, complex. The taste is infinite. Tannins are strong but noble as a King from a Tolkien's novel. Save some bucks and be happy. You deserve it. Gaja decides to break the rules blending Nebbiolo with Barbera grapes. Is it still a Barolo? My head says no, my heart says yes.

WHAT, this is a 1999? seems as playing in another league - red cherries, underbrush, violets, tea leafs, graphite, tabacco and bright leather presenting a most powerful yet elegant performance, tannin structure on the spot! still many years of pleasure ahead!
piemont, mon amour.
