This delicious Barolo from the 2000 vintage was a delicious treat and at age of 20 is is still full of life. The wine is well balanced, very elegant and sophisticated. The nose is a nice mix of black currents, black cherries, light touch of coffee and earthy notes, medium body, smooth and round. The finish is complex and delicious. My score 92, drink to 2024.

Why? This must be from the Parusso era of 200% new oak. Which is ongoing I believe. Color of a Bordeaux or Cal Cab. Hard to discern Nebbiolo under all that oak. On Friday I had the 96 Manzone Gramolare and it was restrained and elegant compared to this. Def not to my taste!

Amazing depth and finish. Pleasantly surprised versus other 97s I've had recently.
